What Is Uni?

Uni (雲丹) is the Japanese name for the edible part of the sea urchin, specifically the gonads, which are the creamy, tongue-shaped pieces found inside the spiky shell. It comes in colours ranging from pale yellow to vivid orange, and is known for its rich, custard-like texture and complex flavour that is at once sweet, briny, and deeply umami. It is one of those ingredients that divides people immediately, but for those who love it, nothing quite compares.

Our Uni Collections

Among all regions in Japan, Hokkaido is widely regarded as producing the finest uni. The cold, nutrient-rich waters around the island, rich with kelp that the sea urchins feed on, produce roe that is exceptionally sweet, creamy, and full of flavour. The two Hokkaido varieties, Kita-Murasaki and Ezo-Bafun, are considered the top of the range and are what most high-end sushi restaurants seek out.

Our uni collection includes Omakase Bara Uni, Omakase Narabi Uni, Kaneyo Black Special Bafun Uni, Geta Uni, Hamanaka Ensui Uni (Saltwater Sea Urchin from Hamanaka, Hokkaido), and more. Whether you are preparing a uni donburi at home, topping a chirashi bowl, or recreating our Cold Angel Hair Truffle Kombu Pasta recipe, this collection has what you need.
