Hokkaido Uni-Don (Sea Urchin Bowl) · Sapporo
Hokkaido bafun sea urchin (from Rishiri and Rebun islands) heaped over sushi rice. The summer signature of Sapporo's market shops; June through August is the season.
Hokkaido has fished sea urchin for over a century along its Rishiri and Rebun coastlines off the northern tip of the island. Sapporo's uni-don bowl rose as a market-shop format at Nijo Market and the Curb Market through the 1980s and 1990s; today the city's market kaisendon bowls stack uni, ikura and crab in three-colour configurations. Sushi Miyakawa and Sushiya no Saito use Rishiri bafun uni as the centrepiece of their summer omakase nigiri.
