The addition of uni cream to sea urchin sushi not only intensifies the natural umami and briny sweetness of the uni but also adds a silky, rich layer that makes each bite unforgettable. The uni cream, when paired with fresh sea urchin, provides a refined balance that elevates the entire dish.
"Uni is one of the purest representations of the sea," says Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, a famed Japanese chef. "Adding a cream base allows the flavors to linger and become even more luxurious."
