Uni Meshi (Iki)
This is a dish made from the 'jewels of the sea' by the Ama divers of Iki. 'Uni-meshi' has its roots in Ama cuisine, where freshly harvested sea urchin from the rocky shores is cooked together with rice. It is said that the sea urchin of Iki, raised on the rich seaweed nourished by the rough waves of the Genkai Sea, possesses an exceptionally intense sweetness. In particular, the purple sea urchin harvested in summer, while small in size, is creamy and rich. Because this island protects traditional breath-holding fishing methods and prohibits wetsuits to prevent overfishing, it offers a precious bounty that can only be tasted here. With the sweetness of the sea urchin and the aroma of the ocean gently permeating the fluffy rice, it is a luxurious local flavor that feels like taking the very sea of Iki into your mouth.
