KUKI SESAME
Kuki was founded in 1886 (Meiji Era Year 19), the era of turbulence, when Monshichi Kuki started pressing sesame oil in Yokkaichi city, Mie Prefecture with an oil machine he acquired from the British. He applied the “continuous pressing method”, making Kuki the first company in Japan to apply this particular type of manufacturing process for the production of sesame oil. It was at this time that Kuki’s commitment to sesame oil was born.
