What is Goma-shio?
Gomashio is a dry condiment, similar to furikake , made from unhulled sesame seeds and salt. It is often used in Japanese cuisine, such as a topping for sekihan . It is also sometimes sprinkled over plain rice or onigiri . Some commercially sold gomashio also has sugar mixed in with the salt. The sesame seeds used to make gomashio may be either tan or black in color. They are toasted before being mixed with the salt.
