Whisk the mixture until the tahini is fully incorporated and the liquids are emulsified.
Add the minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and water to the bowl. Stir well to combine, adjusting the water quantity for your desired dressing consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally, you can add a pinch of salt depending on the saltiness of the tamari used.
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or container and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.
