Characteristics

Hamanaka Youshoku Uni is a cultured Ezobafun Uni with a dark yellow flesh color close to orange and uniform color and size.
Hamanaka Youshoku Uni is sold at a higher price than natural Ezobafun Uni thanks to its production and shipping strategies that take advantage of aquaculture, in addition to its reputation in the market for its creamy melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor without bitterness or rough taste.

Link with the Production Area

In the Hamanaka Town area, there is a bay where kelp grows in abundance and is not easily affected by waves, as well as quiet lakes and marshes with seawater exchange. The production area has a natural environment suitable for aquaculture and has established unique local resource recycling aquaculture technology that takes advantage of these conditions.
By providing sufficient amounts of kelp, which has high feeding value, it becomes possible to produce sea urchins with uniform flesh and good taste.
