Gomashio is a multipurpose Japanese seasoning—sprinkle it on rice, stir-fries and grilled foods of all sorts. Sesame seeds packaged in jars and sold on the supermarket spice racks usually are hulled. We prefer unhulled seeds—they are larger, rounder, appear more plump, and have a richer, nuttier flavor. Store the seasoned salt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
