The very first time I had gomadare was at a grilled meat restaurant 焼肉牛苑 (Yakiniku Gyu-En) in my neighborhood in Japan, slathering the silky, nutty sesame sauce on the grilled meat. My friend, who worked at the restaurant, gave me a rundown of all the sauces on the table and, after trying them all, I knew that gomadare, with its creamy, slightly sweet, slightly salty flavor profile, was my favorite of the bunch.

I encountered it again the next time I went out for shabu-shabu. Gomadare appeared as one of many finishing sauce options for the meat and veggies that my friends and I were cooking in a miso-based stock. The perfectly balanced combination of sesame, miso, and dashi went with just about every slice of pork belly, chicken, and mushrooms and cabbage on the table.
