Japan-domestic black sesame's rare-supply premium underpins Suntory Sesamin-EX and similar functional-food lines; traceability vs imported supply.
Sesamin + sesamolin 0.5-1.2% of fat; protein 19-23%; black seed-coat anthocyanin elevated.
Sesamin functional supplements, premium black-sesame paste / oil, gomashio-style retail.
Domestically-cultivated black sesame (Sesamum indicum). Japan-domestic sesame production is small (<1% of national consumption) but commands premium pricing for traceability — Kyushu (Kagoshima, Miyazaki) and Tōhoku producers supply heritage retail. Functional positioning targets sesamin lignans and the antioxidant profile of the black-seed-coat anthocyanins. Suntory's Sesamin-EX supplement line draws on Japan-domestic black-sesame supply chains.
