For a limited time, Shake Shack is bringing its Black Sesame Shake to participating locations across the US. The shake was initially available at just two locations in Tokyo, making it a highly coveted drink among Shake Shack fans. In terms of the shake itself, the drink combines vanilla frozen custard with black sesame seed paste to create a light grey-colored shake with bits of black sesame sprinkled throughout. As far as taste goes, those who have sampled the drink say it has a vague peanut butter flavor with a delicate sweetness that comes from the black sesame seeds.
