Arrange on serving platter; sprinkle with sesame seed. Serve with toothpicks.

Black sesame seed is used in Japanese dishes. Its aroma and flavor is stronger than that of white sesame seed.
White sesame seed can be substituted for the black sesame seed. It tastes best if toasted just before use. Put the seeds in a heavy ungreased pan and place over medium heat. Toast about 1 minute while shaking the pan occasionally. Remove from heat and serve.
