Sea Urchin Gunkan Maki

What this is

Sea Urchin Gunkan Maki is a culinary masterpiece that showcases the ocean's finest delicacies. This exquisite sushi roll features luscious, creamy sea urchin nestled atop perfectly seasoned sushi rice, all wrapped in a delicate strip of nori. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavours, making it a must-try for any seafood aficionado.

How it is made

Artisanal preparation begins with the careful selection of premium ingredients. The sushi rice is cooked to perfection, then gently seasoned with a blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to create a subtle tang. Once cooled, a generous dollop of fresh sea urchin is placed atop the rice, its vibrant orange hue contrasting beautifully with the dark nori. Each piece is meticulously crafted by our skilled chefs, ensuring that every gunkan maki is not only visually stunning but also bursting with flavour.

Where it is sourced

Our sea urchins are sustainably harvested from the pristine waters off the Australian coast, where they thrive in nutrient-rich environments. We partner with local fishermen who share our commitment to sustainability and quality, guaranteeing that each sea urchin is as fresh as possible when it reaches our kitchen.
