Message From the Brand
The seeds of the Wafu story were planted when Mari Toyoda, a trained Japanese chef, left home and immigrated to Canada. In Montréal, she quickly had her own successful sushi restaurant, serving authentic Japanese recipes. However, something was missing. Mari realized she needed the sesame dressing she grew up loving. Something smooth, creamy, and with the unmistakable nutty Japanese flavor to pair with her dishes. She got to work in her kitchen and created our first Wafu dressing, Original Sesame. Though our company has grown over the years, our mission remains the same: we want to bring the authentic flavors of Japan to the world!
