Shakotan Peninsula Sea Urchin

Discover the Rich, Sweet Flavor Unique to Local Uni

The Shakotan Peninsula is mostly known for its clear “Shakotan Blue” waters, but the real gem here is the fresh uni (sea urchin). The uni season lasts from June to August and brings many people to Shakotan to enjoy its characteristically rich and sweet flavor; it is a seasonal gourmet dish that is best savored locally! Why not see what all the hype is about and try some yourself?  You are sure to enjoy a delicious bowl of rice topped with fresh uni at one of the many fisherman-run shops near beautiful Cape Kamui and the Shimamui Coast!
