If you are a serious sushi connoisseur, you will know that sea urchin is a must have!

Known as Uni in Japanese, sea urchin is one sushi item that is in incredible demand around the world hence the "above average" price tag it comes with. Sea urchins are a rare treat for those who acquire a taste for it. With a light and sweet flavour, it usually enjoyed as sushi or sashimi.

Harvesting uni is a very delicate process as the meat easily falls apart. This makes it one of the most delicate and rich foods in Japanese cuisine. By appearance, uni resembles custard but in a different shade of orange. On the palate, it offers a soft, pillowy texture.

As uni is a seasonal item, it is best when served during autumn and winter by Japanese standards. Benihana kick starts the season of Autumn with an abundance of succulent seafood presented in a variety of culinary styles.
