Sea Urchin Restaurant Murakami in Sapporo !

by Kazu

My wife and I made a point of savoring fresh raw sea urchin of top grade every year in its fishing season. We used to visit Shakotan Peninsula for that before but nowadays, we enjoy the taste in a certain restaurant in Sapporo.

The name of the restaurant is "Uni Murakami ". As you may know, "uni　雲丹" means sea urchin in Japanese. This year,  we decided to take "Uni Special Course" in the restaurant.

We can savor the sea urchin fresh from the ocean only in June, July and August. The starter of this course was the slice of sushi-grade fresh raw Japanese yellow-tail, sweet shrimp and Ezo Aka Bafun Uni which means Hokkaido Red Horse Dung Sea Urchin.
