What is Gokujo Murasaki Uni?
Sourced from our home in Hokkaido, Murasaki uni (紫雲丹) offers a refined sweetness, a clean finish, and a texture that's both creamy and firm — a good choice for uni newcomers and connoisseurs alike. The color is a light yellow to pale orange, lighter than Bafun. This is the Gokujo (極上) AAA grade, the top tier.
Murasaki uni is the lighter, more delicate of the two main uni types. Where Bafun runs concentrated and intense, Murasaki leans toward a rounded, creamy sweetness (甘味 / amami) with a gentler umami and a clean finish. It's the milder starting point, and the one many people come back to. Available year-round.

How to enjoy
Eat it fresh and plain to taste the sweetness — straight from the tray, over warm rice as a uni donburi, or on sushi and gunkan. Its rounded, creamy flavor (甘味 / amami and umami) needs nothing more than a little fresh wasabi or a few grains of salt. Keep it cold until the moment you serve it.
Pairing notes — warm rice, fresh wasabi, sea salt, nori, and a dry or sparkling sake.
