Four-Year old Sea Urchin from the Uni Ranch ®︎ in Hirono, which was born in the world's only special fishing ground in Kita-Sanriku,
Hagukumu Uni ®︎, a regenerative cultured sea urchin born from the know-how of handling the top-quality sea urchin.
At Kitasanriku Factory,
Top quality brand sea urchin grown in natural fishing grounds “Four-Year old Sea Urchin from the Uni Ranch ®︎ in Hirono”’. The know-how we have gained through this process has resulted in two types of sea urchin: regenerative cultured sea urchin, which is as close to natural sea urchin as possible,”HAGUKUMU-UNI®︎”The company sells two types of sea urchin.
The world’s only Uni Ranch®︎ is located in the town of Hirono, Iwate prefecture. Sea urchins are omnivorous, so the taste and quality of naturally grown sea urchins are inevitably consistent. On the other hand, ranch-raised sea urchins feed on natural kelp and wakame seaweed, which ensure high quality, uniformity, and stable supply.
We begun "sea urchin regeneration and cultivation," an initiative to convert skinny sea urchins into delicious sea urchin products rather than disposing of them.
If sea urchin cultivation technology makes it possible to ship sea urchins regardless of the season, it will ensure a stable supply and create year-round employment. In addition through sea urchin regeneration and cultivation and seaweed bed regeneration, there is hope to solve the ocean desertification problem.
Seaweed bed restoration
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are also promoting the use of sea urchin shells, which would otherwise become industrial waste.
This compost block production and seaweed bed restoration project is developed by the town of Shakotan town, Hokkaido, Japan.
※This project is currently undergoing a demonstration experiment.
