Welcome to the official UA-cam Channel of the Sushi Traveler!
In these upcoming episodes of the Sushi Traveler, sushi connoisseur Mike Takla travels around the world one sushi bar at a time.
Takla grew up in Southern California where these sushi bars served as the fancy go-to restaurants, hosting family dinners, birthdays and celebrations. In this new series, he will take his respect and appreciation for this Japanese delicacy to explore new locales, seeking out the people, places, customs and cultures behind this eclectic cuisine across the globe.
While dining at these establishments in Southern California, Mike Takla most of all learned one thing: sit across a sushi chef with the right conversation, and as a result the whole experience will take a turn for the best. Sushi Traveler is Mike's search for the world's most interesting sushi, and the chefs who rise to the occasion.
It feels therapeutic to scoop out the uni
My favourite food of all time ❤
Good knowledge
Good Video
That was cool to watch. Some Tedious work but now you see why its priced the way it is. I wonder how many workers get spiked per week by the urchins. I'm all caught up, see I told you I was going to binge on all of your videos. Love me some Sushi.
Thank you!!!
Their spines are more grabby than stabby. Nobody get's spiked. Gloves are to keep fingers from turning purple, and they are pros. People only get spiked if they accidentally step on one barefoot in the wild. Then, I hear, it really sucks.
Thank you for posting this! I just had SB urchin this Thanksgiving--it was the best! Does Maruhide ship direct to customers?
Awesome, thank you! I know that you can order directly from their website but unsure if they deliver.
Very cool to watch. Does anyone ship "SUPER FRESH" (meaning without Alum...)? or can you get it that way? Also surprised final packing is done without gloves
This distributor has a website that sells fresh Uni without using any preservatives or hardening agents. maruhide.us/product/fresh-uni-in-salt-water/
@@sushitraveler Thanks SO MUCH for the response. This is amazing and I will purchase this. Love your videos - keep it going
Thank you so much! 🙂
yeah the stuff grows wild here in Australia, I live on the beach and they are literaly accross the road. When the weather is fine all week, I go down in the weekends and sit on the rocks and eat them....they are Huge too cos Australians dont eat them so they just grow and are a pest. Im looking at harvesting them and selling them proffessionall here in australia and NZ. Oh btw the NZ brown sea urchins are the best too. Australia where I live in sydney are black urchins.
*How would you describe the taste of uni? I'm told it is sweet and slightly briny.*
Depending on what part of the world it came from, the taste is usually briny, but also very creamy and rich.
👍👍👍
I love sea urchins. Do you know where to buy these wooden trays as an individual, not a professional in Vegas? I would eat a couple trays every week...
I believe if you go to their website you can order Uni for delivery. maruhide.us/product-category/fresh-uni/
Just ordered 3 packs. Only one reference is in stock as of now. THANK YOU! like you, Uni is my favorite!
Hi, I’m Hena from Cambodia. Would you tell me what kind of water do they clean the uni? Is it sea water or normal water that I put salt in it?
They clean the Uni in Freshwater
how long can it last after packaging? how do you keep them fresh?
For fresh uni, once you received it, keep it refrigerated and serve within 2 days.
What's a box of uni go for at market? Purple sea urchin are friggin everywhere in the rivers and offshore of Florida! I'd just like to fill up a box for personal consumption and serve it with a quail egg at a party. A three liter bottle of Sake at the ABC sells for $14! Let's have an Uni party!
For the premium Uni it's roughly about $100 for 200 grams.
They are expensive like gold in Texas...
What's in the alum bath? (like what actually is alum?)
It's like a hardening agent to prevent the Uni from melting while it's being transported.
i can't work there.
I would eat it all
😆
Me too I love this food yummy. No good for me work there either.
