  3. This recipe was great. I bought some at a store and hated the fact that the main ingredient was high fructose corn syrup. Glad I have an alternative to store bought! Plus this recipe was ten times tastier! Thank you!

    I discovered your site today and tried the sesame sauce. It was a hit with the whole family. Thank you for sharing.

    So, so, so yummy. Absolutely perfect with shabu shabu. However, I found that the brand of nerigoma makes a pretty noticeable difference. I like the Atari Goma (which is made in japan.) I tried a brand (I do not remember the name) that was made in China, and it was not nearly as flavorful. Unfortunately, the Atari Goma was $12 in our local store, and the Chinese brand was $4. Worth the $12. The was also a strong bitterness to it that I did not like. I even substituted beer when I was out of Sake (sacrilege, I know) with the Atari Goma and the sauce was still perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!

    • Hi Angela! Thank you so much for the tip! I usually find one brand of “negiroma” at a Japanese store, so I didn’t realize that different texture from another brand. So glad you mentioned it. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi, thank you for this great recipe. I tried this with sliced poached chicken breast and it was wonderful

    By the way, I also live in the Bay Area so I frequently shop in Nijiya, Mitsuwa and Marukai. Could you please tell me your preferred brand of nerigoma sesame paste to use?

    Also, what brand/type of miso do you prefer for this recipe?

    Thanks!!!

    Hi Nami,
    I can’t wait to make this!
    I was just wondering how long the shelf life of gomadare is? Will it last more than a week in the fridge?

        Thank you! We made shabu shabu tonight and my husband gobbled this down all by himself. Definitely a keeper (both the sauce and my washoku-loving husband)!

        I couldn’t find nerigoma in any of the stores here and didn’t want to use tahini…I just toasted and grinded up sesame seeds (no suribachi unfortunately) then mixed in everything else. Does it make a big difference to use nerigoma? I’ve never tasted it before.

        • Hi Jaime! I’m so happy to hear your husband thoroughly enjoyed shabu shabu! 🙂 Negiroma is very nutty, syrupy texture, almost like honey. So it gives the sauce very creamy texture – like peanut butter but thinner. 🙂

    I love your cook book. It’s the best Japanese cook book I’ve found. Thanks you for explaining everything so well. The dishes end up tasting and looking like the meals I have experienced in Japan and in Japanese restaurants so I am always please with the results.
