Maruou Pure Sesame Oil 275g from Japan
Maruou pure sesame oil is a Japanese roasted sesame oil with a clear golden color, mellow taste, and sweet, rich aroma — long used in professional tempura kitchens and now bottled in a 275g home size.
The Story of Masajiro's Maruou Sesame Oil
Called the king of sesame oils, its golden drops carry a sweet fragrance. Maruou sesame oil was born more than half a century ago. Founder Masajiro Isomura set out to deliver the highest quality sesame oil to bring out the very best in tempura, visiting many tempura restaurants in search of the ideal taste. At first the chefs were hard to convince, but he never gave up, taking their feedback back to the maker and refining the oil again and again. The result was this oil, unlike any other, with its mellow flavor, clear golden color, and sweet, rich aroma. Hoping it would become the king of sesame oils, Masajiro named it Maruou.
From Professional Kitchens to Your Table
For many years this oil was known mainly in its 18-liter catering can, used in professional kitchens including Michelin-listed restaurants. It is now available in a convenient home-use 275g bottle.
How to Use Japanese Sesame Oil
- Stir-fries and Japanese dressed vegetable dishes (aemono)
- In place of salad dressing, or over rice with raw egg (tamago kake gohan)
- Korean-style namul and potato salad
- A quick drizzle over salted kelp cabbage or fresh tomato
- Stirred into natto or miso soup for extra richness
- Sashimi and grilled meat, simply with salt and sesame oil
- An unusual favorite: about a teaspoon over vanilla ice cream for a toasty, rich dessert
Used raw, a simple drizzle is enough to make an everyday dish taste better.
