Instructions

Pour the milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling. You can also use a microwave to heat the milk if you prefer.
In a small bowl, mix the sesame paste with a small amount of hot milk (about 2 tablespoons) until the sesame paste is dissolved and smooth.
Pour the sesame paste mixture into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk. For a frothy texture, you can use a milk frother before pouring in the milk.
Stir well to combine all ingredients. Add the brown sugar sirup and a pinch of salt. Stir until the drink is smooth.
Pour the sesame latte into two cups. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Recipe notes

Tips for a perfect sesame latte

Lightly toast your sesame paste (nerigoma) in a frying pan before use: this intensifies the aromas and gives a warmer, toasted note to your latte.
Add a pinch of sea salt: it brings out the flavours of the sesame and balances the sweetness of the milk.
Vegetable milk recommended? Oat or soy milk for a creamy texture and beautiful mousse, but almond milk adds a lighter, more fragrant touch.
Ice-cold version? First dilute the paste in a little hot water, then add the cold milk and a few ice cubes.
Looking for a sweet twist? Try a dash of maple syrup, kinako or even a touch of yuzu honey!

In Japan, black sesame is often associated with longevity and beauty. It's very popular in desserts... but also in drinks!
The sesame latte is part of the "kinako/sesame/azuki" drink trend, which has been very popular in Tokyo cafés since the 2010s.
In Zen temples, sesame is considered a "pure" ingredient, often used in shōjin ryōri (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine).
The rich, slightly bitter taste of black sesame appeals to both coffee lovers and those who want to avoid caffeine.
