Sea urchin, or uni, has been a delicacy in Japan for centuries, traditionally enjoyed as sushi or sashimi. Kru, however, innovatively incorporates uni into various modern interpretations, drawing inspiration from Japanese culinary traditions while forging its own path.

In Japanese culture, uni is considered a luxurious and prized ingredient, symbolizing wealth and status. At Kru, uni dishes also reflect the chef's creativity and commitment to sourcing the best ingredients.
Seasonality and Availability
The availability and quality of uni are highly dependent on the season. Kru emphasizes sourcing the freshest uni, meaning the menu featuring uni dishes changes frequently.
Omakase Experience
Often, the best way to experience uni at Kru is through the omakase (chef's choice) menu, allowing the chef to create a unique and personalized uni dish based on the day's freshest catches.

The core flavors revolve around the rich, briny, and slightly sweet taste of fresh uni. Kru balances this with complementary ingredients to create harmonious flavor profiles.
Uni itself offers a complex taste: a creamy texture with a distinct oceanic brine, often followed by a subtle sweetness. Preparations at Kru might enhance these flavors with soy sauce, citrus notes like yuzu, wasabi for a pungent kick, dashi for umami depth, or creamy elements like avocado or light cheeses to contrast the uni's texture. The specific flavor profile depends entirely on the chosen preparation, which varies seasonally based on uni availability.

Ask About the Uni's Origin
Different regions yield uni with slightly different flavor profiles. Knowing the origin can provide insight into the flavor you're about to experience.
Eat it Fresh
Uni is best enjoyed as soon as it's prepared. Don't let it sit for too long, as its delicate flavor can diminish.
Don't Overpower It
Avoid pairing uni with overly strong flavors that might mask its subtle taste. Let the uni shine.
