100% Pure Sesame Oil
To kick off Maruhon Sesame Oil’s entry into the U.S. market, we partnered with the Culinary Institute of America’s New York location on the Maruhon Sesame Oil Culinary Challenge.
Students were invited to pair up with another Culinary Institute student and submit a recipe video to enter the Maruhon Sesame Oil Culinary Challenge. The winning pair of chefs won a trip to Japan!
From the video submissions, judges picked the below top 5 videos. The winners then were invited to create a new twist on an American classic with one of the four types of traditionally pressed Japanese sesame oils: untoasted sesame oil, lightly toasted sesame oil, toasted sesame oil, or dark toasted sesame oil.
Takemoto Oil & Fat Co., Ltd is the oldest operating oil extraction company in Japan. Established in 1725 by Chozaburo Takemoto in the Aichi prefecture, it is still owned by the founding family.
