What is the sweet dressing in salads served at Japanese restaurants?

I was wondering what the flavor of the light, sweet dressing typically served at Japanese restaurants is. I can't recall seeing it in a store, but if you have any recommendations, please let me know. Otherwise, is there a recipe for it?What is the sweet dressing in salads served at Japanese restaurants?
Sometimes, it's a house dressing or very simple to make - I do a quick one with
White miso paste, a couple of tablespoons full.
Rice wine vinegar - about a 1/4 cup
white sugar 1/4 cup
1 teaspoon full of sesame oil
Black pepper to taste
A splash of chili oil
A bit of fresh shredded ginger if you like.
Whisk all of this together to your liking. You might like sweeter or more tart
If you would like it creamy - add a dollop or so of mayonaise.
Japanese restaurants can vary in different parts in the US. There was once a black "asian" dressing that was basically a sesame oil based vinaigrette, then there's also the pink/orange dressing that is the ginger dressing, and also a white sesame based dressing that is made with japanese mayo (which is sweeter than most mayo)What is the sweet dressing in salads served at Japanese restaurants?
I think you are referring to a sesame vinaigrette. google that for recipes. I can't remember mine at the moment
Ginger?
