Japanese Sesame Sauce Recipe (Goma Dare)
Description
This Goma Dare sauce combines sesame paste—traditionally ground sesame seeds or tahini—with mirin for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, toasted sesame oil for depth, miso paste for umami, and rice vinegar for acidity. Whisked together until smooth and creamy, the sauce has a balanced nutty, savory, and slightly tangy profile.
The sauce is served at room temperature and can be used as a dipping sauce or stirred into cold noodles to add flavor and moisture. The option to garnish with toasted sesame seeds adds a subtle crunch and accentuates the sesame flavor.
Goma Dare complements dishes where a lightly thick, sesame-based sauce is desired without overpowering other ingredients. It is easy to prepare and versatile enough to incorporate into Japanese-inspired meals.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sesame paste or tahini
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 teaspoon miso paste
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish, toasted, optional
Instructions

Notes
- Store leftover Goma Dare in an airtight container refrigerated and use within one week to maintain freshness.
- Ingredient substitutions are possible; see associated section for alternatives depending on availability.
