This oil is made using several processes inherited from traditional production methods:

• Heating and roasting
In order to bring out the characteristic flavor and aroma of Iwai sesame oil, raw sesame seeds are carefully heated and roasted. Skilled artisans use all their senses to assess the condition of sesame seeds, the day's temperature and humidity, and other factors. The individuality of sesame oil comes from this roasting process. It is therefore a process where traditional skills are essential.
• Pressing
The oil is pressed without the use of organic solvents. Although the tools have changed, the pressing process which preserves the richness of taste and aroma, remains unchanged for 160 years.
• Filtration and tranquility
The pressed sesame oil is coarsely filtered, then left to rest in vats for two weeks. The oil is then filtered and then left to rest for a longer period without the use of centrifuges in order to retain flavor and aroma. This is how Iwai sesame oil is produced.
