I ordered a tray of sushi that includes uni hoping that they have fresh uni. Well, it was pretty bad. I don't mean to discriminate, but seeing Mexican people who don't know about sushi make sushi reduces half my appetite. Plus, rice (shari) part is huge. I'm not going there again. I really should order the uni from the website you found for me. As my journey for fresh uni continues, I went to a Sushi Boy (Sushi chain in California) in Torrance.

I ordered two uni there, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Hmm... too bad. It makes me want to really order the fresh one...

I was very happy to see $16 for two trays of uni. But when the price jumps up to more than $50 because of shipping, it was some disappointment. Then again, if you really love uni, you'd go for it right? I'll probably try sometime next month. I wish I could share the uni with you. None of my friends at work eat raw stuff, so I won't be able to share it. That reminds me... when I went to Kaiten Sushi, I ordered uni. Last time I ordered it, it was soooo good. That's when I said, "Nihonjin ni umarete yokatta!" meaning "I'm glad I was born to be Japanese." although you can certainly enjoy uni even if you are not Japanese. My search for good sushi has been continuing since I came to this country. I don't think it's going to ever end! LOL You know, you’re totally encouraging me to go for the uni tray.

You might want to ask you local fishmonger if they have access to live urchins, though, you never know. Cheers, Warren The <a HREF="http://www.sushifaq.com" rel="nofollow">Sushi</A> Guy.
