Hi there
I love sesame, yes, anything that have sesame, I love it, so whenever I got to Japan, I will also go crazy in it, I will eat sesame ice cream, sesame jam, sesame sweets.
So during my last trip, I decided to go somewhere interesting and ended up at Sugamo, which is an area they called “Obachan Harajuku” haha… it never fails to cracks me up whenever I think of this name which means Harajuku a really hip place in Tokyo, however this is for old ladies and I must say I looooovveeee this place!
And because it is an area for old people, you can find a lot of really interesting gourmet like Shio daifuku which is salted mochi, and then I found this Sesame Store which sells everything sesame, I took nearly every item they have and especially these brown and black sesame cubes, and also coated walnuts. It was soooo good!
These cubes are packed with pure sesame and if you like sesame, you will be in heaven! 🙂
The black sesame cubes have more depth in it, it has this slight bitter taste and not as nutty as the brown cubes, and of course you will get a set of nice black teeth if you eat this, don’t say I didn’t warn you haha…
The brown ones are actually like peanut cubes, but with so much flavour in it, it has this nutty and sweet flavour that probably more suitable for non hard core sesame fans. 🙂
So remember to source for some sesame products when you are in Japan, since it is healthy to the body and also for the ladies, very good for skin too. oh yeah.
