Hiro came to Bend Oregon and helped make a menu for a sushi bar called deep. I worked in the back of the kitchen when he was there. And I was able to enjoy his creations often when the restaurant was opened. I went down a very deep road of sushi making at home with friends after that and have never looked back lol...hi five hiro!!!!
Used to work on urchin boats out of Santa Barbara, we sold to this guy a lot. Thanks for the look at the processing plant I always wondered where the urchins went and what happened to them. I hope Mr. Kawamura can find a market and processing method to make the small purples commercially viable, that would make him the god of Urchins not just the king, would save the industry since the little purples are killing the kelp beds.
The first time i tried uni was around 1995 and i hated it, ever since then because of that one experience i keep forgetting to ask for it to see if my taste buds have changed because damn i love sushi. It looks so good and i have to try it again one of these days. Those urchins were Ginormous.
OMG YOURE IN LONG BEACH?!!! My uncle catches LOADS of sea urchins off of Catalina and sells it to them!!! It’s nice seeing the whole process from leaving my uncle boat to going to the warehouse and being shipped! Never knew how it was like until now
omg he says hes usually more friendly? Hes very friendly right now! The level of friendliness he is when in pain and irritable is more friendly than i am on a particularly great day... and im from Texas. I guess im not very friendly?
Hiro san please make Tooth fish dish and show us fillet toothfish and portion please because it is expensive and delicate to do it, making us superb in Japanese huh?
What a nice nice man he is, (I’m sorry I didn’t catch his name) and eyeball is quite a character too. Great video Chef Hiro San, VERY interesting and informative.
Good Afternoon Hiro San. This is so Awesome to see the whole process. SAIKOU! I totally think that Eyeball is so cool. Hiro, it was so awesome that you translated for Mr. Kawamura. The picture on IG is so awesome. Love how you were able to hold the vana (Uni) bare hand. As always, thank you for taking us along on this awesome journey. Thank you to Mr. Kawamura for sharing your awesomeness. Hiro you da besses evea!
That is what happens when you have a video pretty much advertising delicious uni to 39k people, bound to get many of them to purchase some of it. Wish I could buy some, but it ain't cheap.
I wonder if the small purple could be halved and cleaned but the row left in and sold as Uni product, the small size of the row made up for by having half an Urchin. I bet a lot of tasty things could be made with a half small purple, little Uni soup bowls or something steamed or roasted with the Uni in there as an ingredient? Sure would help if there was a profit to harvesting them since they are out of control after the starfish there natural predator's died off. If the small purples could be a product sold as the half Urchin on a tray like Uni is it would be very helpful, maybe try some recipes Hiro? People cook in Urchin shells the little purples could be the solution to a cheaper highly available but high quality urchin specificly for cooking in?
Good afternoon from Santa Barbara! Just a reminder, if you plan to go to Mitsuwa in Torrance, it is no longer in the same location. It’s now a part of Del Amo Fashion Center. Cheers!
Hiro, my friend, g11d aftern11n!!! I ❤️ uni or sea urchin very much! These educational videos are fantastic! Who is Trisha? This guy is of the same age as I am... 1967 was a g11d year ;-) ❤️🇯🇵❤️🇩🇪❤️🇺🇲❤️ 🥢🔪🥢🔪🥢🔪🥢🔪🥢🔪

Hiro-SAN can’t hide the joy in his smile! :) he had a great time, I can tell! Greetings from Australia
Eyeball seemed like a really great guy.
he was very genuine
Seemed like a stereotypical California nut job to me, but obviously GOOD at what he does!
Very friendly indeed.
I bet he had a spiked mohawk before the wind blew it all away.
@@MrAcuta73 keep opinions to yourself, “nut job” was that necessary? ❤️
You both have gotten me addicted to your videos
I’m sorry I laughed when you said American Bull dog 😂😂 I was like NOOOOOO 😂😭
At least he didn’t say regular bulldog
Looks more like a cane corso
People like Eyeball really make me smile a lot. He’s the type of people you want to meet during adventures.
hehehehe that’s my daddd!!!!
Man Eyeball was a cool guy

I wish I could up vote this more than once. Facts. These purple urchins are Satan (but still tasty in their own right).
Oh wow they have the best catch too the red/brown sea urchins we call them in New Zealand 'Kina' - beautiful yummy Kina or Uni - sea urchins ❤️
Oh thats cool! In germany we call them „disgusting“
@@No__Vanity ok
Great video very informative
That company also runs a restaurant called Maruhide Uni Club in the LA area. It has uni on almost every dish on the menu.
Would be Nice to see Hiro work his magic with this Urchin. Maybe next one. Cheers from down under!
I bet he will in the future video, he never let anything this good pass without making a dish out of it~
Were very lucky here in New Zealand cos its much cheaper. $20-$30 per 120g
You could tell how much fun Hiro was having being around all that uni lol
That is amazing process
Good video - humble guy
Hello Hiro Ana Charles such a beautiful video!!❤❤
Hiro & Charles this was a really nice tour. Thank you Mr. Hideo Kawamura & good luck in all your continuing successes👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
can't wait for uni again! yum!!
The first time i tried uni was around 1995 and i hated it, ever since then because of that one experience i keep forgetting to ask for it to see if my taste buds have changed because damn i love sushi. It looks so good and i have to try it again one of these days. Those urchins were Ginormous.
Good afternoon!!!!
Uni!!!!!!! My absolute favorite! So much fun to see all that uni in that factory!! Nothing better than having a taste of the ocean!
OMG YOURE IN LONG BEACH?!!! My uncle catches LOADS of sea urchins off of Catalina and sells it to them!!! It’s nice seeing the whole process from leaving my uncle boat to going to the warehouse and being shipped! Never knew how it was like until now
Half Moon Bay is the hidden gem in SF Bay Area
House prices show it's been discovered by many 🤑🙁 Yes, it is beautiful though. I remember discovering Pillar Point 30 years ago...
Wow you all are so lucky
I absolutely love sea urchin sushi, its one of my favorites, sadly, I rarely get it due to it being fairly pricey, but man, its so tasty!
Hiro
Hulk Hogan beard style old man
What a lovely day for good seafood. And what a good fishmonger and dealer of uni Hiro.
Amazing and good work 👍
BEAUTIFUL, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU HIRO AND ......
Charles
What a quality dog
I really want Eyeball to start his own channel.
he is! hehehe that’s my dad!!!
@@lillyjanis4970 ask your dad to make a channel, I would def subscribe
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing your video!!!
In Aotearoa New Zealand we leave kina/inu in a bucket for a week then eat it has a strong but beautiful taste.
hiro is so cool
The Cane Corso breed is a beast of a dog. It’s actually part of the breed that was used to create the Dogo Argentino.
They look scary as fuck
One of the descendants of the old Roman breeds, probably.
Na come to New Zealand.. here you'd find the biggest for sure
Wow, it’s so lovely to see the ur guns. Very beautiful weather with lovely people
That CEO seems like such a great sweet man!
That was awesomness
Wow! Yum! 🧶🤓👑
That's incredible
I can't find a single restaurant in Sacramento with uni.... is August too early in the season?
Great 💐💐💐
Yum … The taste and texture looks awesome
スゴイ！大きなウニですね☺💦
しかも大量に！！
great video, those people are very2 nice and friendly
💖🌷💖Nice video !
Mostly purple urchins....perfect, kill them all!
Marinated? Ok, but Taku brought us smoked Uni....definite US West Coast original.
Eat the purple urchins, conserve the red ones. The kelp forest will thank you.
Amazing
You guys are awesome, I absolutely love sushi mmm I hope you have a wonderful day today
omg he says hes usually more friendly? Hes very friendly right now! The level of friendliness he is when in pain and irritable is more friendly than i am on a particularly great day... and im from Texas. I guess im not very friendly?

This is one of the most chilled out channels on the web..
Hokkaido uni holds out much better than uni from Santa Barbara, but nothing beats same day freshness.
The Channel Islands have some great sea urchins! This makes me miss SB a great place
Totally agree!
First love your videos
UNI UNI UNI
Good work featuring a business during these times.
I definitely want to try that 雲丹酒盜﹗😍😍 (too bad they don't send them to Canada tho....)
Which wine/sake would you suggest to go with it, Hiro san?
I've been looking for uni at of 15 high end sushi restaurant. In 5 different states can't find it. Please ship out.
I'm a great admirer Hiro, love the channel and food. Be safe
Love Uni, need to visit next time i drive down
Great video, keep it up!

Great video! Please invest in LAV Mics for future loud factory areas! :)
Sea urchins are such cool looking fish? Beautiful dog too.
They’re most definitely not fish
what happens to the shell?
Hiroyuki our Uni here is the best in California way way better than Japan ! And I hate to say it because I love everything Japan!
go to the site and EVERYTHING is SOLD OUT!!!
Yep no fresh uni 4 sale there.
That is what happens when you have a video pretty much advertising delicious uni to 39k people, bound to get many of them to purchase some of it. Wish I could buy some, but it ain't cheap.
Loved this video! Enjoyed it.
This world could use more “eyeballs.”
hehehe that’s my daddddd!!!!!!
@@lillyjanis4970 wish I had your dad! Lucky.
Uni heaven this sea urchin makes me hungry.

Good job!

Great video…I adore Uni but it’s not that common in markets here, mostly available in sushi restaurants… greetings from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺!
