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.
Lightly roast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium  heat for a 
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.
