Uni: A Delicate and Delicious Delicacy from the Sea
At Nubo Kitchen+Bar, we're passionate about Japanese cuisine and using the freshest, most delicious ingredients to create amazing dishes. One of our favorite delicacies from the sea is uni, also known as sea urchin.
Uni is a type of shellfish that is highly prized in Japanese cuisine for its rich, delicate flavor and creamy texture. It's a popular ingredient in sushi and sashimi, and is considered a delicacy because it's difficult to harvest and is only available seasonally.
The edible part of the sea urchin is the gonads, or roe, which have a bright yellow to orange color and a sweet, briny taste. The flavor of uni can vary depending on the species, but it's generally described as buttery and nutty, with a subtle oceanic taste that's not overpowering.
At Nubo Kitchen+Bar, we source our uni from locally to ensure the highest quality and freshness. Our chefs prepare uni dishes with the utmost care and attention to detail, allowing you to experience the full range of flavours and textures that this amazing delicacy has to offer.
We offer uni as a topping for sushi, sashimi, and other dishes, allowing you to enjoy it in a variety of ways. For example, our uni sushi is made with perfectly cooked rice that is topped with fresh uni.
In addition to sashimi and nigiri, we also offer uni dishes such as uni linguine. Which is expertly prepared to bring out the unique flavour of uni and showcase it in a different way. Our uni linguine, for example, is made with linguine noodles and topped with a creamy uni sauce and a sprinkle of black pepper. It's a decadent and delicious dish that's sure to impress.
If you've never tried uni before, we highly recommend giving it a chance. It has a unique taste that is unlike anything else, and it pairs perfectly with a variety of flavours and ingredients. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking to try something new, uni is sure to leave a lasting impression.
