YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Sesame Layu Chili Oil 3.5oz — Traditional Japanese sesame oil, pure two-ingredient flavor

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Sesame Layu Chili Oil is a 3.5oz artisanal Japanese chili oil made from sesame oil and red chili for rich sesame fragrance, natural umami, and clean heat.

Harvested and crafted in Japan by a refinery with over 160 years of experience, this layu-style chili oil uses only two ingredients—premium sesame oil and sun-dried red chili powder—produced without additives, MSG, or artificial extracts. The result is a pure, aromatic seasoning that enhances both traditional Japanese dishes and contemporary recipes. Bottled in a compact 3.5oz jar, it’s designed for everyday use at the table or as a finishing oil in cooking.

How is this chili oil made differently from mass-produced blends?

Skilled artisans monitor sesame seed quality by season and process each batch at the ideal moment so flavor and aroma are balanced. Instead of blending neutral base oils with flavorings, this product infuses red chili directly into sesame oil to extract natural heat and depth.

• Small-batch production at a historic Japanese refinery
• Only two ingredients: sesame oil and red chili powder
• No canola, no extracts, no hidden additives
• Quality control tuned to harvest conditions for consistent aroma

What dishes benefit most from YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Sesame Layu Chili Oil?

This layu-style oil works as both a condiment and a cooking ingredient. It brings warm sesame aroma and gentle, natural spiciness to soups, noodles, grilled proteins, and vegetable dishes without overpowering delicate flavors.

• Drizzle over ramen, udon, or soba for instant depth
• Use as a dipping oil for gyoza, tempura, or grilled skewers

Is the sesame chili oil suitable for dietary preferences and allergies?

The formula emphasizes purity: it’s made without MSG, added sugar, or genetically modified ingredients, and contains no gluten-containing additives. While vegan-friendly and respectful of halal principles, it is not officially certified—check packaging for any specific allergen statements if you have severe sensitivities.

• Vegan-friendly composition
• No MSG, no added sugar, non-GMO
• Gluten-free ingredients listed
• Produced in Japan; review label for cross-contact details

How should I store and use the 3.5oz jar to keep flavor at its best?

Because the oil’s aroma and heat come from pure sesame and chili, store it away from direct sunlight and strong odors to preserve its fragrance. A cool, dark pantry is ideal; refrigerate after opening if you prefer extended shelf stability, though refrigeration may slightly cloud the oil.

• Keep sealed and stored in a cool, dark place
• Refrigeration extends freshness (may cause cloudiness)
• Shake gently before use if solids settle
• Use as a finishing oil to preserve delicate sesame aroma

Who is this for: Home cooks and food lovers who value authentic Japanese condiments and want a simple, high-quality sesame chili oil to elevate everyday meals. It suits fans of traditional Japanese flavors, chefs looking for a clean ingredient to finish dishes, and anyone searching for a versatile, additive-free chili oil in a convenient 3.5oz jar.
