Hand-made gomasio, produced in our Macrobiotic Shop kitchen!

Gomasio (also spelled gomashio) is a dry condiment, similar to furikake, made from unhulled sesame seeds (ごま, goma) and salt (塩, shio) Gomasio is used daily in the macrobiotic diet, where it is sprinkled over rice and other foods in place of regular salt.

Generally, the gomasio used in macrobiotic cuisine will contain less salt than traditional Japanese gomasio (a ratio of 18 parts sesame seeds to 1 part salt is recommended for some individuals with a particularly restricted diet) and made by hand roasting the sesame and grinding in a suribachi.

Ingredients: organic brown sesame seeds, sea salt.
