Hokkaido Ezobafun Shiosui Uni is fresh, raw sea urchin from Hokkaido, offered by the Japanese seafood specialist Yoichiya. It is made from Ezo Bafun sea urchin, and the term shiosui uni refers to the edible lobes packed in salt water.

The product is intended to be eaten raw. Availability depends on the harvesting season and weather conditions.

The deep orange lobes are smooth and creamy, with pronounced sweetness and rich umami. Gently drain them before serving on their own, over rice as uni don, or as a topping for gunkan-maki.
