I suspect the key to that slight flavor difference is roasted sesame paste as opposed to tahini, which is generally made with raw sesame seeds. Which is a good reminder (thank you!) to pick up roasted sesame paste at the Asian grocery store. https://www.saveur.com/food/toasted-sesame-paste/

There’s a ramen place here in LA called Silverlake Ramen and they serve a side of broccolini with a creamy sesame sauce that I get two orders of every time. I never thought about trying to recreate the dish at home but now I will! Thanks for this!
