Where does the Uni Come from?

Bafun Uni mostly comes from the north of Japan where the most famous Bafun uni comes from Hokkaido as well as the Rishiri islands. However, high quality bafun uni can also be found coming from Russia, Chile, China and even California. 
 
How to tell if your Uni is good?

Freshly caught Bafun uni has a bright beautiful yellowish-orangy colour with a firm texture that melts in your mouth. The taste should never be fishy but instead, leaves traces of the ocean. The smell should be slightly salty and briny but not have a strong fishiness to it. Each uni piece should also be dry, firm and plump and they should not be overly melted and look deflated. 

Bafun uni narabi boxes also have an expiry date on he side of each box so make sure that the Uni is well within the expiry date to ensure that it is still fresh. 

Our purveyors at Shiki SG make sure that all these criteria are met before choosing each box of uni, so you can rest assured that the uni you receive will be of top quality and freshness.
