Who chooses the Uni for you?

Our Auction grade Japanese Yellow bafun uni is the highest quality Bafun Uni available in the market. Each box is carefully selected and won every morning by our very own uni purveyors in the Toyosu Uni Auctions. Our Uni purveyors are the biggest uni buyers in the Toyosu market an have had years of experience in choosing, buying and winning the top quality Uni boxes in both Tsukiji and Toyosu.
 

What should your Uni taste like? 

Yellow Narabi Uni has a one of a kind taste profile, sweet and rich taste full or umami. Bafun uni melts in your mouth like ice cream and leaves a sweet and fragrant aftertaste like none other. Bafun uni is like a very light and gentle almost custard like with an extremely sweet seafood/ocean taste and fragrance.

Bafun uni is best eaten with:

  • sushi rice, pasta, risotto;
  • other seafood like Botan Ebi, Salmon and Ikura;
  • rich oily foods like Japanese Beef, O-toro & Chu-toro;
  • dried seaweed, ohba leaves; and/or
  • with a cup of sake or shochu!

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.
 

What's the difference between yellow & red sea urchin? 

Yellow and red uni are virtually the same. The main difference according to our head chefs and specialists is purely the colour! Some uni tend to be red while others yellow or Orange. This could be due to what the uni ate or simply a trait of that particular uni.

Taste wise, they are more or less the same as well. However, some uni enthusiasts do say that the yellow and orange uni is sometimes a bit creamier and sweeter, while the red is slightly drier and richer in its briny flavour.

* Kindly note that packaging might vary depending on the auction results in the mornings.
