Instructions
Place the sesame seeds, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce in a mortar and grind them all together and set aside.
Boil water in a large pot and add the spinach bunch in (from the stem side first) and cook for about 1 minute.
Take the spinach out and put immediately in icy cold water to avoid the spinach being cooked further.
Squeeze out the excess water and cut the spinach about 5 cm long.
Add the spinach to the mortar and toss together with the sesame sauce.
Serve in a small bowl and sprinkle more sesame seeds on top.
Notes
Spinach can be replaced with other Japanese vegetables such as Shyungiku.
