Nori, Sesame Seed, And Togarashi Cheese Ball

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1/2 sheet nori (dried seaweed)
• 1 teaspoon togarashi, plus more for garnish
• Sea salt and freshly-ground pepper, to taste
• Black and white sesame seeds, for garnish

1. In a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a spatula, whip the cream cheese and butter together until fully incorporated.
2. Add the soy sauce, mayonnaise, nori, togarashi, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly, and turn onto a sheet of plastic wrap.
3. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or at least until the cream cheese mixture is firm to the touch.
4. Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator, and shape into a ball.
5. On a baking sheet, spread out the sesame seeds and additional togarashi and roll the cheese ball in them so that it is fully covered. Serve with crisp cucumbers and crackers.
