Founded in 1977, TAKUSEI produces a wide range of sesame products from raw materials that are carefully inspected by hand to adjust the roasting and ensure optimal quality, deliberately limiting its production in favour of artisanal standards.
Among its specialities, the dried bonito sesame combines large, high-quality sesame seeds with an ultra-fine katsuobushi powder, offering a balance between the intensity of sesame and umami depth, with no additives or artificial flavourings. Meanwhile, the Torokeru Kinako blends kinako, finely ground sesame, kokuto and wasanbon to create a melt-in-the-mouth texture that softens the drying character of roasted soy and reveals delicate roasted aromas. Kinako, a golden-brown powder made from roasted and ground soy, is traditionally used in Japanese confectionery and is noted for its nutritional qualities, promoting good absorption of proteins and fibre.
