Quick quality tips when you find a place

Food guides for sesame balls suggest a few simple freshness checks:

  • Fresh ones should feel relatively light, with a crisp sesame exterior and chewy center, not dense or soggy.
  • If they look greasy or you see oil pooling in the container, they may have been sitting too long.
  • If in doubt, you can ask staff when the last batch was made; hesitation is often a sign they’re not fresh from that day.
