Hokkaido Bafun Uni (Sea Urchin)
Deep gold and densely rich, bafun is the more intense side of uni. Next to the milder purple (murasaki) variety, it carries a concentrated, savory depth and a long, clean sweetness. This is Hokkaido bafun, arranged by hand into a traditional tray (narabi), from urchins grazed on the cold-water kombu that gives Hokkaido its benchmark flavor. Fresh, never frozen.
Best for: sushi, nigiri and gunkan, donburi, or straight from the tray. Hokkaido bafun, male trays, prized for a firmer set and deeper flavor.
Size: Sold by the tray, approximately 250g. Natural weight varies slightly from tray to tray.
