What is "Midnight Black Sesame Tantan Motsuni"?
"Midnight Black Sesame Tantan Motsuni" is a new type of motsuni designed to enhance the experience of drinking alcohol. Alcohol professionals, including J.S.A. Wine Experts and Sake Sommeliers, thoroughly pursued the perfect compatibility with alcoholic beverages during its development.

The Charm of "Midnight Black Sesame Tantan Motsuni"
① The rich and impactful "tantan-style" flavor transforms the fat of the offal into "umami."
"Midnight Black Sesame Tantan Motsuni" uses an abundance of sesame in a tantan-style seasoning to create a rich flavor that encourages more drinking. Unlike typical soy-sauce-based motsuni, the rich tantan soup emulsifies and integrates with the offal's fat. The robust fat unique to offal is embraced by the richness of the soup, creating a strong flavor profile that stands up to full-bodied alcoholic beverages like shochu and sake.
