Rokkasho Salted Sea Urchin
There is an ultimate accompaniment to rice that captures the blessings of the Pacific using only salt. In the Tomari district of Rokkasho Village, a rias coastline stretches out, featuring nutrient-rich waters brought by the Oyashio current. High-quality sea urchins, having fed on plenty of seaweed, are harvested here. Using an ancient local method, freshly caught sea urchin is soaked in brine overnight; this process removes excess moisture and intensely concentrates the umami. Because it is preserved with only salt, the natural sweetness of the sea urchin and the aroma of the ocean stand out clearly. Once placed atop warm rice, you won't be able to stop eating. Since it comes in a jar with a long shelf life, you can enjoy it bit by bit. It is a luxurious preserved seafood that also serves as the perfect snack for alcohol.
