Daisho Papatto Ippin Goma-ae Sesame Dressing Mix 22g turns a bunch of blanched greens into a proper Japanese side dish in about a minute. The sesame is double-roasted and ground, then built out with powdered soy sauce and the umami of hongare katsuobushi — the hardest, most matured grade of dried bonito — so the sachet carries the savoury backbone that a home cook would otherwise have to build from scratch. One sachet dresses a whole bunch of spinach.
About Daisho
Daisho Co., Ltd. (株式会社ダイショー) is a Japanese seasoning maker established in December 1966 in Fukuoka — originally as Daisho Foods, set up to make grilled-meat seasoning, and its very first product was a yakiniku sauce called Yakiniku Ichiban. It now works from dual headquarters in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and is known across Japan for yakiniku and steak sauces, seasoned salt-and-pepper, and nabe hot-pot soup bases, under the company motto "creating happiness through deliciousness".
What is goma-ae?
Goma-ae (ごま和え) is one of the staples of the Japanese home table — vegetables blanched briefly, squeezed dry, then tossed in a sweet-savoury ground-sesame dressing and served cool as a small side dish. It belongs to the aemono (和え物) family, meaning anything "dressed" rather than cooked in a sauce, and it is the dish most Japanese households reach for when a meal needs a vegetable alongside the rice.
How to use & enjoy
Daisho's own recipe serves three to four and uses one sachet to a bunch of spinach (about 250 g). Boil the spinach for roughly a minute in salted water, cool it in cold water, then squeeze it out well and cut it into 4 cm lengths. Squeeze once more — getting the water out is what stops the dressing going thin — then add the sachet and mix through. The maker also recommends it on komatsuna, green beans, carrot, shungiku and mushrooms.
