Toast 1/4 cup of sesame seeds in a cast iron pan until golden, about 2-3 minutes, being careful to watch closely as it toasts.

Use a mortar and pestle to grind half of the toasted sesame seeds, leaving the other half whole.

In a bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of butter and miso, then melt together.

Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice, a splash of sake, and 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper to the butter and miso mixture, stirring to combine.

Prepare the grill, cooking the corn on the cool side for 10-15 minutes.

Once the grill is hot, move the corn to the hot side to char it.

Remove the corn from the grill and place it back in the bowl with the miso butter mixture.

Finish the corn with chopped scallions and the ground sesame salt mixture.
