Kadoya Sesame Oil, 22.10 Fluid Ounce

22.1oz $16.49 at time of purchase. Much better deal than smaller bottles. I’ve tried quite a few sesame oils over the years, and this one consistently stands out. The flavor is intensely nutty, slightly smoky, and very aromatic—exactly what you want from a high-quality toasted sesame oil. Just a small drizzle can completely transform a dish, whether it’s stir-fries, noodles, marinades, or even simple rice. What really impressed me is how potent it is compared to cheaper brands. You don’t need much at all, which actually makes the bottle last longer than expected. Many reviewers mention the same thing: it’s not meant to be used like a cooking oil, but more as a finishing oil—and that’s where it shines. The oil appears to be made from 100% sesame seeds with no fillers, which contributes to the clean, authentic taste. It’s also widely regarded as a pantry staple in Asian cooking because of its ability to add depth and umami to dishes. That said, because it’s so strong, it may not be ideal if you prefer a mild sesame flavor. Also, proper storage matters—keeping it sealed and in a cool place helps preserve its aroma over time. ✅ Pros Rich, bold, and authentic roasted sesame flavor Very aromatic—enhances dishes instantly High quality, made from sesame seeds only Long-lasting, since only small amounts are needed Great for finishing dishes, dressings, and marinades ❌ Cons Strong flavor may overpower dishes if overused Not ideal for high-heat cooking Bottle size may feel pricey upfront (though it lasts) Needs proper storage to maintain freshness 🧾 Summary If you’re looking for a genuine, restaurant-quality sesame oil, this is a fantastic choice. It’s flavorful, concentrated, and versatile—but best used sparingly as a finishing touch rather than a cooking base. While it may cost more than generic options, the quality and potency make it well worth it.

Great quality and taste; bonus points for being kosher and authentic!

The taste and smell is very good. We use it to cook many dishes and it last a while. The packaging was good and there were no leaks.

Really like the roasted taste.

Best flavor. I got the first bottle with a subscription price. But the flavor is far superior to any other toasted sesame oil I've tried. Some other brands cut the oil with other oils besides sesame. But this one has a robust taste and I will continue to buy this product.
