ウニ- Uni

Sea urchin

Uni is a premium sushi topping known for its distinctively rich sweetness and creamy texture. Its abundant umami and briny aroma spread delightfully in the mouth. Uni is typically served as nigiri sushi, often in the form of gunkan-maki (battleship roll) where it is wrapped in nori (seaweed). The prime season for uni is summer to autumn, when it is especially flavoursome.
