A Middle Eastern classic revisited with typical Japanese umami flavours.

Instructions

- Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down edges if necessary.
Adjust the texture with a little more water or oil, and season with a little salt.

- Just before serving, add the toppings of your choice.
Recipe notes
Tahini vs Nerigoma: what are the differences?
Often confused, tahini and nerigoma are both sesame purees, but they differ in origin, production method and taste. Tahini, a product of Middle Eastern culinary tradition, is generally made from raw or lightly toasted, shelled white sesame seeds, giving it a fluid texture and a mild, slightly bitter taste. Nerigoma, on the other hand, is used in Japanese cuisine and is distinguished by the use of heavily roasted then finely ground sesame seeds, giving it a denser texture and a more intense, deep, toasted flavor. In this recipe, nerigoma replaces tahini for a more pronounced, typically Japanese umami touch.
