Sesame Paste Toast
ごまペーストパン · Goma Pesuto Pan
By Aoi, licensed nutritionist · From a Japanese preschool lunch menu
Goma pesuto pan is a favorite preschool snack: a sweet, nutty spread of melted butter, sugar and ground white sesame seeds on soft white bread. It takes only a few minutes and no cooking beyond melting the butter. Ground sesame seeds give the spread a gentle, toasty flavor children love, and they are also a handy way to get a little calcium and iron into small eaters. Cut the bread into small pieces so little hands can pick them up easily.

Values are per serving (1.5× the Japanese preschool portion); an adult serving is double. They were calculated by a licensed Japanese nutritionist using the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan. "Salt equivalent" is sodium × 2.54, the standard Japanese measure. Allergen flags cover egg, milk and wheat only and come from the nutritionist's records. Soy sauce and miso are made with wheat but are usually allowed on Japanese wheat-free school menus, so check with your doctor.
