Sea Urchin — Victorian Giant Short Spine (Large Bento Box)

🌊 This Season's Catch — Offshore Eastern Victoria

Giant short spine sea urchins from the cold, deep water off Victoria's eastern coast. Offshore urchins grow large and give broad, full roe lobes. The season runs from July to November, and this is the time to have it.

✨ Why You'll Love It

• Taste: Fine and delicate on the tongue, with a clean, lingering sweetness.
• Big lobes: Offshore short spine grows large, so the roe comes in broad, generous pieces.
• Bento style: Packed loosely rather than laid out in neat rows — the same roe with no time spent on arranging, so more of the price goes into the box.

🍣 How to Enjoy It

• Uni don: The bento box was made for it — pile it over warm rice with shredded nori.
• Straight from the box: A drop of soy and a little fresh wasabi.
• Sushi night: Gunkan and hand rolls for the whole table.
• Uni pasta: Folded through hot spaghetti off the heat at the very end. Never cook it directly.

❄️ Handling
