The following are tips for storing sesame oil: 1．Store cooking oil in dark place at room temperature. No need to keep it in a refrigerator. Store it in a dark place at normal temperature (around 20℃) under the sink, in a cabinet or similar where the door is opened and closed often, to avoid high humidity and heat. 2．Avoid storing it in hot places. Keep it away from hot places such as the stove. 3. Avoid exposure to air as much as possible. Keep the lid closed properly when not in use, and consume the oil as quickly as possible after opening. 4. Clean away sediment from the oil when using it for deep-frying. If sediment is left in the oil, the oxidization of the oil will be accelerated. Remove the sediment with a strainer soon after using the oil and keep the oil in a container that can be sealed. Use-due to date and expiry date The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan describes general “use-due to dates and expiry dates” as follows. A “use-due to date” means a date until which it is recognized that all expected product qualities can be fully preserved when storing the product in the specified way. However, these qualities may be preserved even past this date. An “expiration date” means a date until which it is recognized that safety will not be compromised due to decomposition, deterioration or other degradation in product quality when storing the product in the specified way. “Use-due to dates” are put on food whose deterioration takes a comparatively long time, such as snacks, cup noodles, ready-to-eat food, cans, juices, beef jerky, fish paste, milk and butter, while “expiration dates” are put on food whose deterioration is comparatively quick (within about 5 days) such as Obento lunchboxes, prepared food, raw oysters, and cooked bread
