Awabi is a quintessential premium sushi topping, celebrated for its rich flavour and unique texture. Fresh abalone has a complex texture, with a delightful contrast of firmness and tenderness as you chew. The briny aroma and rich umami spread throughout the mouth, followed by a delicate sweetness that lingers. Often enjoyed as sashimi or nigiri sushi, raw awabi allows you to savour its natural flavours, while lightly searing it enhances its sweetness and adds a pleasant roasty aroma.
