What are Japanese Goma Sauces?

Japanese goma sauces are sesame-based dressings and dipping sauces made from ground or paste-form roasted sesame seeds. In Japanese cuisine, goma sauces are valued for their rich nuttiness, gentle sweetness, and ability to add body and umami to dishes without overpowering other flavours. They are commonly served with salads, chilled vegetables, cold noodles, shabu-shabu, and grilled meats, offering a creamy alternative to lighter soy or vinegar-based dressings.

Key characteristics include:

• Deep roasted sesame flavour
• Creamy, smooth texture
• Balanced savoury and mildly sweet profile
• Versatile and ready to use

How to Use

Kikkoman Sesame Sauce is extremely versatile. Use it as a salad dressing for leafy greens, cucumber, or shredded cabbage, or drizzle it over cold noodle dishes such as soba or ramen salads. It works beautifully as a dipping sauce for grilled meats, gyoza, or steamed vegetables, and pairs particularly well with chicken, tofu, and seafood.

It can also be used as a finishing sauce for stir-fried vegetables, a dressing for grain bowls, or a flavourful accompaniment to hot pot and barbecue dishes. For a lighter dressing, it can be thinned with a little water, citrus juice, or rice vinegar.
