Goma is the Japanese name for sesame. This mixture is used as a  condiment to 
sprinkle on rice, raw vegetables and salads. it is good  on boiled potatoes, 
too.

minute or two, stirring frequently. Allow to cool, then  grind them together 
with the salt. In an airtight jar, the blend will  keep for 3-4 months.
