Shabu Shabu Goma Dare

The sesame dipping sauce that sits beside a shabu-shabu pot. Made from roasted sesame paste blended with soy and seasonings into something rich, nutty and thick enough to coat a slice of meat as it comes out of the broth.

Shabu-shabu is cooked in plain water or the lightest dashi, so the sauce is not an accompaniment — it is the seasoning for the entire meal. Goma dare is the rich side of that pairing; ponzu is the sharp side, and most tables want both.

Why Choose It?

• Roasted sesame paste base: deep nutty flavour and a smooth, thick body.
• Properly balanced: soy and seasonings behind the sesame, not fighting it.
• It coats: thick enough to cling to thin slices of meat and to leafy vegetables.
• Ready to pour: into a dish and onto the table.
• Not just for hotpot: it works as a noodle sauce and a salad dressing too.

How To Use It:

• Shabu-shabu: in a small dish, for beef, pork and vegetables alike.
• Yakiniku: as a dipping sauce beside grilled meat.
• Cold noodles: over soba, somen or hiyashi chuka.
• Salad: thinned with a little water or rice vinegar.
• Gyoza: as an alternative to vinegar and soy.

Note:
Stir well before serving. Sesame paste separates on standing, and the flavour settles with it.
