Sea Urchin from Sai Village
"The sweetest in Japan." This is what the fishermen of Sai Village proudly claim about their sea urchins. Located near the western tip of the Shimokita Peninsula, the waters of Sai Village are a bountiful fishing ground where the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean meet. Seaweeds such as kelp and wakame, which serve as food for the sea urchins, flourish here. Having grown by eating plenty of high-quality seaweed, these Kita-murasaki sea urchins possess an exceptional rich sweetness and aroma of the ocean without any unpleasant odor. The harvest continues long into summer, using different fishing methods—with baskets in early summer and harpoons thereafter. When scooped with a spoon and brought to your mouth, a melt-in-your-mouth sweetness gently spreads. This is a premium, summer-only delicacy that is unforgettable once tasted. Whether enjoyed as fresh sea urchin or salted, it is the pride of Sai Village.
