WADAMAN Wooden "Surikogi" Pestle for sesame seeds and spices

WADAMAN is an Osaka based sesame specialist who farms their own sesame and sells high quality sesame products since 1883. Although sesame is an important ingredient in the Japanese kitchen, 99,9% of the sesame is imported from outside of Japan. WADAMAN therefore has been farming their own sesame since 2010 (for part of their line up). As the fourth generation of the family, Etsuji Wada is a true artisan with over 40 years of experience in handling sesame: everyday from 8am to 9pm. 

Their sesame is certified organic, chemical fertilizers- and pesticide-free, and attains it's deep flavor by careful roasting techniques that have been perfected over the years. Wada argues their organic, authentic production methods combined with time, effort, passion and love is the secret behind their delicious products. 

Sesame seeds are packed with healthy fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and the nutrients our bodies need. WADAMAN recommends eating 2 tablespoons (20 g) of sesame a day.
