Message from the chef
It is an excellent dish as an accompaniment to rice wine and white wine. Most Japanese-style bars will serve this. We eat both of leaves and stems of the spinach in Japan, High humidity, mild weather and much rainfall in our country make all vegetables very soft, which allows us to eat not only their leaves but also their stems.
Sesame seeds are roasted before ground to set the flavor off to advantage.
