What Is Uni & What Does It Taste Like?

If you frequent sushi restaurants, you may have heard someone at a nearby table ordering sea urchin sushi, leaving you wondering, “What is uni? And what does sea urchin taste like?”

WHAT IS UNI?

Uni is the edible part of a sea urchin, scientifically known as globular echinoderms. These spindly creatures are related to starfish and sea cucumbers and reside on the ocean seabed.

WHAT DOES UNI TASTE LIKE?

An aroma of fresh salty ocean water accents Uni’s rich, thick, creamy texture, and sweet buttery flavor. Unlike other shellfish, uni is soft and melts in your mouth.
