If you decide to make only one sauce, this is
generally the most popular says Julie Kataoka. From
the "Japanese Country Cookbook, by Russ Rudsinski.

Grind sesame seeds using a mortar and pestle or a
small blender. Combine with soy sauce, oil, vinegar
and water. Place garlic, togarashi and onion on a
separate plate for diners to add as they wish. Place
sauce in small individual dishes for each diner.

Note: Togarashi is a Japanese seasoning made of
crushed red pepper and other condiments, blended into
a powder. Red or black pepper may be substituted.
