Sounds delicious! Do you think you could make it using coconut milk as a base instead of dairy? I'd like to limit the fat and I have trouble digesting cow milk. Any suggestions?

I don't really want to steer you away from trying my recipe, but I am anyway. I think it might be best to see if you can find a recipe for black sesame ice that already calls for coconut milk. It took a lot of fiddling for me to get the amount of black sesame seeds just right, and I'm afraid you'd have to do even more fiddling, since they'll be competing with the coconut flavor, it will take tweaking to get the amount right.

In the Japanese context, are black sesame seeds the same thing as kalonji/nigella seeds?

This made me miss Japan. Pretty much anything makes me miss Japan, but this especially. I will be making this very soon!!

There is nothing like black sesame ice cream. True bliss.
There's also a Mitsuwa outside Chicago.

"Visit a shrine, eat soft serve; feed sacred deer, eat soft serve." This sentence encompasses my trip to Japan last summer. Thank you, Lindsay-Jean, for fueling my black sesame addiction.

If you need a fix in the states and you live near NYC, you can get some pretty awesome black sesame soft serve at a Japanese Grocery store called Mitsuwa in Edgewater, NJ. I usually have about 2-3 cones while I'm home!
