Five Flavours of Sea Urchin (2024)

The quintessential ocean flavour and unique consumptive experience

The flavour of sea urchin is so fragile it is hard to describe...like caviar, the urchin flavours unfurl in your mouth with a delicate blend of sweetness and brine, creaminess, with a sumptuous unami undertaste. All in all, delicate and rich, a uniquely blended sweet and briny taste. The texture adds another layer to the taste experience, it is buttery, smooth and melting.
