I wrote many articles about Japanese cuisine and culture, but refrained from posting them because I didn’t save the soft copy of my writings. A brainwave suddenly came to me today. Why don’t I take a photo of my article and ask ChatGPT for a transcript?
So that’s what I did.
And it really worked!
This explains why you are able to read my recommended ways to savour sea urchin!
How do you savor sea urchin? Let me count the ways...
Mention to the Japanese that you like eating sea urchin or uni (うに) and they will exclaim, “So extravagant!” This really reflects how they highly prize uni as a delicious delicacy. So do indulge yourself in this divine item and keep a lookout for the myriad ways in which you can tuck into uni.
- Wolf uni down raw
Make a trip to the local market, and you might just see fresh uni being offered. There’s no need to dip it into shoyu (soy sauce). Eat it raw and delight your tastebuds with its sweet, briney, yummy, and creamy taste!
- Order uni sushi
If you want something more filling, try ordering uni sushi at a kaiten (revolving) sushi restaurant. Enjoy how the exquisite umami of uni and Japanese rice fills up your tummy!
- Top your pasta off with uni
Uni makes a perfect pairing with creamy pasta and is a nourishing enhancement, as it consists of omega-3 fatty acids that can help to lower blood pressure!
- Get your hands on uni-flavored snacks
These uni beans are the ideal accompaniment to beer and sake. Eat, drink, and make merry with your friends!
Additionally, don’t miss out on trying out premium uni rice crackers that will give you a power boost during hectic afternoons!
