Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add all of the sesame seeds, stir constantly until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Lighlty grind only 2 TBSP of the toasted sesame seeds (just lightly grind them, you dont want a paste). Set the remaining 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds to the side for garnish.
Add the ground sesame seeds, soy sauce, honey, mirin, and sake to a small bowl and mix thoroughly, set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the spinach. Cook for 1 minute then transfer spinach to a bowl of ice water to stop the spinach from cooking further and let sit for 1 minute.
Squeeze out as much water from the spinach as you can and transfer the spinach to a cutting board. Chop the spinach into bite size pieces and place the spinach in a large serving bowl. Pour the sesame dressing on the spinach and toss to combine. Sprinkle the 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds on top and serve.
