Decades of experience
and insight

Selecting uni

Hadate Suisan uses Kita Murasaki uni, the largest species of Japanese sea urchin,
which is coveted for its intense umami flavor and gentle sweetness.
Our exclusive specialty boxes contain the highest grade of raw sea urchin,
making up only 1 percent of the yearly catch.

Pursuit of excellence
in flavor and appearance

Processing and presentation

Our proprietary moisture control technology allows Hadate uni to retain its intrinsic flavor.
Our uni is often referred to as “well dried,” meaning that it is crisp and springy on the outside while remaining moist within,
indicating the absolute highest quality.
Hand-packaged by uni artisan Sakiko Hadate using a proprietary technique passed down through generations,
Hadate uni specialty boxes represent the pinnacle of flavor and presentation.

Respect for nature
and tradition

The bountiful sea of Hokkaido

The Kita Murasaki uni inhabits the sea off Hokkaido,
a fertile ecosystem rich in plankton and algae that nurtures umami-rich delicacies such as sea urchin and makombu,
the highest-quality kombu kelp.
Hadate Suisan is dedicated to protecting this precious marine environment,
regularly releasing baby sea urchins into the ocean to support stocks and limiting fishing to officially sanctioned seasons.
