Bafun Uni, a type of sea urchin roe distinguished by its deep orange color and smaller, more rounded lobes, is a prized delicacy in sushi cuisine. Revered for its intense, creamy flavor and smooth, buttery texture, it's a favorite among sushi chefs for its ability to add a luxurious depth to dishes.
Sushi chefs prominently feature Bafun Uni in nigiri sushi and sashimi, often served simply to let its rich, oceanic flavor shine, and it's also used as an exquisite topping or ingredient in various sushi rolls and creative seafood dishes.
