By professional buyer, picking the quality that is most worth for the price this season.

You get the Supreme Grade fresh uni (250g),
with the best possible price, on the day of auction.

Within the market, it's referred to as "Bara" grade, where there might be some variation in arrangement and color, but the quality is impeccable.
Within the same price range, we will compete to bring you the finest one available at Toyosu Market on that day.

How does our Pre-Order Uni works?

This is a pre-order system where we deliver directly from Toyosu, selecting each grade at the best possible price.

One reason for this is that uni is considered a mysterious food because its taste is not related to its color or shape. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to judge its quality based on appearance alone. 

About Uni:
It's a Mysterious seafood

Uni remain a mysterious delicacy that is often reserved for connoisseurs and professionals.
It is typically associated with sushi restaurants.
Similarly, at the Toyosu market, there is limited knowledge among brokers regarding the origins and optimal seasonal flavors of Uni.
We offer carefully selected Uni sourced by experienced buyers who possess comprehensive knowledge of this delicacy.

The Color of Uni does not have much influence on its taste

The color of uni can vary, and it is influenced by factors such as their diet, age, and gender.
Uni are hermaphrodites, starting as females and later transitioning to males as they grow.
The part we consume is called the gonad, which refers to both the ovaries (in females) and testes (in males).
There is little difference in the gonads between males and females, and they are not separated or packed separately.

It is commonly believed that females have lighter colors while males have darker colors, but it is not clear whether this distinction is due to gender or simply the result of aging. Additionally, the color can also be influenced by the type (color) of seaweed in their diet.
Ultimately, the relationship between color and taste is not straightforward and clearly understood.

How Buyers select the best ones?

Taste of Uni is determined by their food

Both Ota and Toyosu Market play crucial roles as Japan's major fruit and seafood markets, contributing significantly to the country's food supply.
Located in the heart of Tokyo, both markets enjoy excellent transportation access, making them popular choices for numerous retail businesses and restaurants to source their products.
