Experience the ocean’s most exquisite delicacy in its most natural form. Sourced from the icy, mineral-rich kelp forests of Hokkaido, our Shell-on Sea Urchin (Uni) offers a level of freshness and theater that pre-packaged Uni simply cannot match. Opening a fresh shell reveals the vibrant, golden roe that is world-renowned for its sweet, creamy, and complex flavor.
- Ultimate Freshness: By keeping the Uni in its natural shell, the delicate roe is protected from oxidation, preserving the purest "sea-to-table" taste.
- Hokkaido Heritage: Grown in the cold currents of Northern Japan, these urchins feed on premium "Kombu" (kelp), resulting in a deeper, sweeter Umami profile.
- Spectacular Presentation: Perfect for high-end dinner parties or a luxury Omakase experience at home. The visual impact of serving Uni directly in its spiny shell is truly unforgettable.
- 100% Natural: No alum or preservatives. Just the raw, untainted sweetness of premium Japanese seafood.
- Flavor: An initial burst of briny sweetness followed by a rich, nutty, and creamy finish.
- Texture: Firm yet delicate grains that melt elegantly on the tongue.
- Open: Use kitchen shears to carefully cut around the "mouth" of the shell.
- Clean: Gently remove the dark innards with a spoon and rinse the golden roe with cold salt water.
- Serve: Enjoy directly from the shell with a spoon, or top with a dash of lime, high-quality soy sauce, or fresh wasabi.

- Pre-order Deposit: To accommodate these variations, prices are initially set based on the maximum expected weight. A 20% deposit is charged at the time of your pre-order to secure your purchase.
- Final Capture & Remaining Balance: Once the actual weight is confirmed after sourcing and shipping from Japan, we will capture the exact amount for the final, correct price.
