Hiroko ListonSweet Black Sesame Paste
Black Sesame Paste is available from many supermarkets in Japan, but there is no such a thing where I live now. When I want to use it for cooking, I make it. Using Suribachi & Surikogi (Japanese mortar & pestle), it is not hard to make. If you have a grinder, it could be super easy. Homemade paste is not smooth like the store-bought paste, but it is good enough for me. Today I made soft sweet paste, that I used as a sauce for Mochi Dumplings. You can mix it with softened Butter and make it into a spread.
