Due to the high demand of this product, orders are limited to 3 trays per customer. Sushi aficionados agree that uni is an essential part of any sushi experience, and gold (A Grade) uni sushi is as good as it gets! The cold, pristine waters of the Pacific Northwest are home to a variety of sea urchins, including the red sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus). Red sea urchins harvested in this region provide a gold uni that appear bright yellow or orange in color. Pacific Northwest uni tends to be smaller when compared to Southern California uni; and it may range in color from bright yellow to dark orange; however, it still provides a sweet, ocean fresh flavor and succulent texture that melts in your mouth! Enjoy this uni on its own right out of the package, or as part of any sushi experience. For maximum enjoyment, consume within 3-5 days upon delivery.
