Wadaman Co.


Wadaman Co.

Wadaman Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, Japan, has been crafting exceptional sesame products for over 130 years. As a fifth-generation company, Wadaman has earned its reputation as a master of sesame seed roasting. They source their sesame seeds from the finest growers around the world, subjecting them to a meticulous multi-step sorting and cleaning process before roasting. 

Etsuji Wada, the fourth-generation owner, has been personally roasting sesame seeds for over 45 years. Renowned as Japan's top sesame roaster, his unparalleled expertise results in sesame seeds with a uniquely delicate and nuanced flavor that sets them apart from all others.


Wadaman expertly roasts all three varieties of sesame seeds—white, golden, and black—carefully tailoring the roasting process for each to account for differences like fat content. This precision ensures that every seed reaches its full flavor potential.


Beyond their roasted seeds, Wadaman crafts exceptional sesame pastes and oils. Their sesame paste is made by repeatedly grinding the roasted seeds with a ceramic grinder, creating a smooth, rich texture. For their sesame oils, seeds are pressed in small batches to produce exquisite extra-virgin roasted sesame oil, celebrated for its depth of flavor and quality.
