Daisen Uni comes from Hokadate 函館 across the Tsugaru Strait.
In Tsugaru Strait, the winding coastline in this region where Hokkaido and the Mainland of Japan (Honshu) nearly touch is shallower and a rich environment for kelp growth, which is the primary feedstock for Uni.
Why is Daisen brand so special?
The Daisen brand is often regarded as the No. 1 Murasaki Uni label on the market. This often comes at a premium due to high-quality controls and standards when it comes to selecting the raw materials. Please be aware that it will be up for auction, and there is a chance that someone else will outbid your order. Additionally, Hadate Uni are rare and in limited supply, so we cannot always guarantee delivery.
