Where can I find black sesame seeds?

I've been looking for the past week and haven't seen it - only white sesame seeds. Anyone know where I can find black sesame seeds? Downtown/Danforth area preferred.

Thanks.

      I'm pretty sure I saw them at Galleria, a Korean supermarket with several locations in T.O. Newest location, recently opened, at Yonge & Steeles in what used to be Chapters. Also, a fairly new location at Don Mills & Leslie.

              Is there a bulk barn near you? I have purchased mine at the Bulk Barn in Woodbridge.

                    Any chinese grocery store should have them.

                      Kuro goma--black sesame seeds--are usually available at Korean grocers like PAT.

                                I live in NoCal but just bought toasted black sesame seeds at an Asian market.
