Our sesame oil is different from most. We roast in small batches at lower temperatures at our mill in South Korea, overseeing the entire process from start to finish. This gentle roasting yields a golden hue in our oil, as opposed to the brown color typically seen on shelves.
Instead of a bitter aftertaste, you’ll find that familiar toasted sesame aroma with a smooth, buttery depth that lingers on the palate.
We follow traditional Korean methods, and chose our roasting approach because we believe it brings out a more balanced, expressive oil. One that complements classic flavors while also pairing beautifully with new dishes it’s not typically associated with. It's a food lover’s sesame oil — made to invite curiosity in the kitchen while staying true to its roots.

A teaspoon of sesame oil can transform a dish.
Use it to gently sautee some vegetables or an egg, or try it at the end of cooking, when the pan is off the heat and the food is ready to breathe. Stir it through bibimbap, brush it over grilled mushrooms, or pour a few drops over noodles. A little goes a long way.
Beyond Korean food, Sooki pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, vinaigrettes, in desserts, and even a slice of good bread.
We ship on non-holiday business days, Monday through Friday, with a 2:30 PM cut-off time. Orders placed after the cut-off will be processed on the next business day.
Our standard processing time is 24–48 hours. While most orders ship the same business day, orders placed after the cut-off will be fulfilled on the following business day.
What makes our oil special?
Our sesame seeds are roasted at a lower temperature than other sesame oils, allowing the natural sweetness and nutty aroma to develop without bitterness. This slower, more deliberate method creates a golden, balanced oil that feels vibrant and alive, with a flavor reminiscent of high-quality melted butter layered with a subtle nuttiness.
We never use chemical solvents like hexane or refining agents. Our oil is mechanically pressed and filtered using traditional Korean methods, preserving its nutrients, antioxidants, and full-bodied aroma. Nothing added. Nothing stripped away.
Every bottle of Sooki was designed by our family to reflect what’s inside — elegant, simple, and built for daily use. The glass protects freshness, the shape pours cleanly, and the design reminds you that this is oil made with care, not convenience.
