Copied from the package as of the date checked. The label is shown in Japanese as printed; tap an ingredient to see its English name and role. The links in the table below lead to our Ingredients A–Z and food additive database. The official online shop writes the ingredient list as “有機白ごま（国内製造）” (organic white sesame (made in Japan)) (the label says “有機白ごまいりごま（国内製造）”). The package says “本品加工工場では小麦、落花生を含む製品を加工しています” (this product’s processing factory also processes products containing wheat and peanuts) and “開封後はお早めにお召し上がりください” (please eat soon after opening). In June 2025, 金ごま本舗 announced that the product description on the package of this product (60 g and 70 g), which said “有機栽培された金ごま” (organically grown golden sesame), was wrong and should have said “白ごま” (white sesame).
