The procurement period for our products for general sale will be from November to April of the following year. Our CEO, who has explored eating Sea Urchins around the world, will choose the Sea Urchins that he believes are the most in season and delicious at this time of year. Depending on the quality and seasonality of the products, sales for the season may be called off early.

This is the nature of the Ezoba-style Sea Urchins from the Four Northern Hokkaido Islands.

The Four Northern Islands are known as one of the world’s 3 major fishing grounds where warm and cold currents intersect. Due to the nature of the area, high quality kelp is cultivated naturally.

The Sea Urchin of the area feed off of the naturally high quality kelp; thus resulting in high quality Sea urchin.
