Sea Urchin Picking Experience in Kamui Park
Kamui-149-2 Kutsugata, Rishiri, Rishiri District, 097-0401, map
Rishiri Uni is considered the highest grade of uni in Japan. After all, it feeds upon the nutrient-rich kombu Rishiri is famous for. I enjoy how the tasty food environment leads to even more scrumptious foods.Weather permitting
, you can pluck sea urchins directly from the ocean at Kamui Park and learn how to crack them open. On the day we visited, the water was too choppy, but they simulated the experience offshore.I chose one that was extremely active in my basket, and I was enthralled by the spinal columns it waved at me. A part of me felt guilty since I’m not used to killing my own meal, but there was no other way I was going to Rishiri Island without tasting this uni. For 2,000 yen, I would have done this numerous times if I had actually stayed longer. Or if I had a do-over, I would clear my schedule and just put this on the itinerary repeatedly.Pro Suggestion: This activity is seasonal from June to August( harvest is prime in July– August).
