Sobre este ingrediente
Sea urchin gonads — Japan's most-prized seafood delicacy, one of the three classic delicacies (sankin) alongside karasumi and konowata. Hokkaido (Rishiri, Rebun, Yoichi) and Iwate dominate Pacific-bafun-uni and ezo-bafun-uni production, while Yamaguchi and Kyushu contribute murasaki-uni. Live-shipping in saltwater commands the highest premium; salt-cured and 'shio-uni' preserved formats serve export markets. Distinct from existing seafood entries.
