The \"Gold\" name reflects the vivid golden color that male Bafun takes on at peak summer condition — brighter and more luminous than the deeper orange-red female lot (Aka-Rishiri), and distinct from the pale-gold Murasaki line (Shiro-Rishiri).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eMale Bafun uni reads differently from the female lot: silky smooth on the tongue with a denser body, and a deeper, more concentrated flavor finish that holds longer on the palate. Rishiri uni feed exclusively on the kelp beds that grow around the island — the same Rishiri kombu that goes into top dashi. The summer harvest window is when this diet shows up most directly: the sweetness (甘味 \/ amami) reaches its peak and the umami runs deep. Inside Japan, male Bafun from Rishiri is a sought-after lot among sushi counters that want a firmer, more pronounced uni note on the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIchikawa Suisan · Gold Rishiri (黄金利尻)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRishiri Island, Hokkaido, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariety\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBafun uni (馬糞 \/ バフンウニ) · male only (雄)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeason\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSummer harvest · peak sweetness and umami\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFresh · Refrigerated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-order · seasonal (summer only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs nigiri, sashimi, or chirashi:\u003c\/strong\u003e Served as-is, chilled.

Processing time: 7–10 days after order placement; once arrived from Japan, processed within 24 hours and shipped via overnight courier. Use within 3 days of arrival. Do not freeze — freezing breaks the texture and the uni cannot recover. Refrigerate immediately on receipt.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Uni Guy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44249328320678,"sku":"UNI129","price":335.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/2886\/2886\/files\/3E9FD4A6-131A-4AB1-86FF-E3B4982BC09A.jpg?v=1753735269","url":"https:\/\/hokkaidouni.com\/products\/gold-rishiri-male-uni-summer-250g","provider":"Hokkaido Uni Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
