At Yuzu Omakase, Bafun Uni is more than just a premium ingredient. It is a natural masterpiece, embodying the essence of the majestic Northern seas. Each golden, creamy, and vibrant strand of sea urchin is a symbol of purity - where the untouched beauty of the ocean is refined into its most exquisite form.

The presence of Bafun Uni on Yuzu Omakase's tables is the culmination of an intricate journey defined by meticulous selection and rigorous auctions. Each precious portion undergoes a stringent process at the world-renowned Toyosu Fish Market – Japan's leading seafood marketplace. Here, only trays of Uni reaching an absolute pinnacle of perfection in color, shape, and freshness pass this fiercely competitive selection. Uncompromising criteria ensure only the finest specimens, those truly encapsulating the ocean's bounty, move forward.
Adhering to a philosophy that profoundly honors authenticity and distilled essence, Yuzu Omakase has successfully pioneered the direct import of this rare seafood from Hokkaido's frigid, pristine waters to Vietnam. The entire preservation and transportation process strictly follows the most rigorous international standards. This dedication safeguards the Bafun Uni's unparalleled quality and ethereal flavor, ensuring every delicate nuance is perfectly preserved until it's elegantly presented to the discerning diner.

Bafun Uni is aptly called the ocean's "golden diamond," a title far from accidental. Surpassing the simple sweetness of common uni varieties, Bafun Uni delivers a profoundly richer, more deeply resonant, and sophisticated flavor. Each tiny, ethereal segment of roe melts away on the tongue with otherworldly grace, releasing a symphony of subtly sweet and exquisitely creamy notes, like a gentle yet captivating orchestral composition.
This is a moment where a fleeting hint of salinity gracefully yields to an elegant, lingering aftertaste – an experience transcending mere culinary indulgence. It reaches into the profound, sensory depths of the soul. It's a taste that speaks of vast, untouched ocean expanses and the delicate art of nature's bounty, creating an unforgettable connection with the sea.
At Yuzu Omakase, Bafun Uni isn't just a dish. It represents a sophisticated and harmonious fusion of the ocean's pure essence, nature's intrinsic minerals, and the deep, contemplative spirit of Japanese culinary artistry. Each silken strand of uni seems to whisper a silent narrative of primal beauty, a quiet yet profoundly emotive story, inviting diners to delve deeper into its profound mysteries and savor every delicate detail.

We don't just serve Bafun Uni; we meticulously curate a unique and unforgettable culinary journey. Here are the compelling reasons why our Bafun Uni stands as the paramount choice for the most discerning and sophisticated gourmands:
Every tray of Bafun Uni at Yuzu Omakase originates from Hokkaido - Japan’s most abundant seafood region. We source exclusively through official auctions at Toyosu Market, ensuring transparency, premium quality, and the rarity of every product.
Thanks to an optimized preservation process from harvesting through transportation and service, our Bafun Uni retains its complete, characteristic richness, profound sweetness, and famously smooth, luxurious texture. This establishes a benchmark of flavor that very few other seafood varieties can hope to emulate, setting a new standard for what premium sea urchin should taste like, offering an unblemished sensory experience.
One of the highlights at Yuzu Omakase is our Bafun Uni Toast - a masterful blend of fresh, creamy sea urchin, crispy toast, and premium black truffle. The bold aroma of truffle, gentle umami of uni, and delicate crunch of toast unite to create a harmonious experience - elevating raw ingredients into a modern masterpiece that still honors the ocean’s pure flavor.
