Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kuro Goma Latte?
Kuro Goma Latte is a Japanese-style beverage made by stirring black sesame paste sweetened with honey into milk and pouring coffee over it, with ice added if you prefer an iced version.
Should I use black sesame seeds or black sesame paste for the best texture?
This recipe toasts whole seeds and grinds them in a mortar until fine and oily; grind as long as needed for a smooth result. Ready-made black sesame paste (10g) can replace the ground seeds for an even silkier texture.
Does it matter what type of coffee I brew for a Kuro Goma Latte?
A double shot (60ml) of intense espresso or a concentrated Moka pot brew works best, so the coffee is strong enough to come through the milk without overpowering the nutty sesame.
How do I prevent the sesame paste from sinking to the bottom of the glass?
Mix the sesame powder with the honey into a smooth paste first, stir it well into the milk, and stir gently again before drinking so the flavors incorporate well.
Can I make this dairy-free while keeping it creamy?
Yes, oat milk is the best substitute because its natural sweetness and thick consistency pair perfectly with the earthy profile of black sesame.
