■ Why the Sweetness and Flavor of this Sea Urchin are First-Rate
Hokkaido’s fresh and in-season purple sea urchin is being used. Taken fresh out of its shell, it’s soaked and delivered in a brine matching the consistency of salt water to maintain its fresh flavor. It glitters gold and will melt in your mouth with a natural sweetness. As soon as you take a bite you’ll see how unmatched the beach aroma and delicately refined flavor are. The sea urchin’s body is delicate and collapses easily, so alum is often used to preserve it, but for these dishes, it is instead meticulously removed from the shell. This is unlike anything you’ve tasted before before, through which you can enjoy its locally harvested flavor.
■ Another Reason for the Sea Urchin’s Flavor
The saltwater sea urchin’s flavor is further supported by seasoning it with scallop soup stock. Through a long period of trial and error, an ingredient that adds to and emphasizes the natural sweetness and umami was finally found. This delicious flavor allows the extravagance of the blessings of Hokkadio’s sea to shine through.
■ These Absolutely Must Sell Out! Double Your Sea Urchin!
You can now double your sea urchin for the chilled spaghetti dish, which has been sold more than 150,000 times! This product is only available for a limited time, and by doubling it, you can double its richness. This often sells out through reservations from customers waiting all year to take in the taste and scent of doubled sea urchin spaghetti. This is an offering you won’t want to miss out on if you have a chance to try it!
