Bafun 冷凍ウニ

Bafun uni, featured in the image above, is compact in size and comes from a smaller sea urchin, harvested from much deeper ocean depths.

This gives the uni a bolder taste that’s rich in umami and slightly bitter notes.

Due to its size and distinct flavor, bafun uni is best suited for cooked dishes and sauces.

It has a dark orange color, which is why it’s sometimes referred to red sea urchin.
