How does Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Oil change the taste of my dishes?

The oil introduces a warm, toasty aroma and concentrated nutty flavor that enhances savory and sweet recipes alike. A little goes a long way: a teaspoon can lift a sauce, while a tablespoon adds backbone to a marinade.

• Intensifies umami and toasted notes in sauces and dressings.
• Adds finishing flavor to soups, noodles, and roasted vegetables.
• Blends well with soy sauces, vinegars, and citrus for marinades.

Is this sesame oil suitable for cooking at higher temperatures?

Kikkoman Toasted Sesame Oil performs well for many stovetop techniques, including stir‑frying and searing, due to its relatively high smoke tolerance compared with delicate oils. That said, toasted oils are prized for flavor and are best added late in cooking or used as a finishing oil to preserve their aroma.

• Good for quick stir‑fries and medium‑high searing.
• Ideal as a finishing drizzle to preserve fragrance.
• Avoid prolonged overheating to maintain flavor integrity.

What makes this product non‑GMO and preservative‑free?

This oil is produced from sesame seeds verified through Non‑GMO Project standards and contains no added chemical preservatives, colors, or flavor enhancers. The seeds are toasted, pressed, filtered and pasteurized, keeping the ingredient list to a single, recognizable source.

• Single‑ingredient formulation: toasted sesame seeds only.
• Non‑GMO Project Verified and certified gluten free.
• Filtered and pasteurized without additives or preservatives.

How should I store and use the 1.25‑quart bottle for best results?

Keep the bottle in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct heat and light; refrigeration can prolong freshness but may thicken the oil. Use within a reasonable time after opening to enjoy peak aroma and flavor, and keep the cap tightly closed to prevent oxidation.

• Store in a cool, dark place; refrigerate if desired.
• Tighten the cap after each use to limit exposure to air.
• Use as finishing oil or for low‑to‑medium heat cooking for best flavor.

Who is this for? Home cooks, professional chefs, and anyone wanting a high‑quality, preservative‑free sesame oil will appreciate Kikkoman's toasted oil. It's suited to those pursuing authentic Asian flavors, people avoiding GMOs and preservatives, and cooks who want a versatile bottle for dressings, marinades, stir‑fries, and finishing touches.
