"Kanmon Uniman " has been attracting public attention since its launch in 2011. Permanent sales began in the Tsukiji Outer Market in December last year, and I was secretly looking for a chance to eat.

And finally, the opportunity to visit Tsukiji for wildlife has arrived! You can't miss this chance! So I went to "Maruichi Hamada Shoten" which sells "Kanmon Sea Urchin"!


"Maruichi Hamada Shoten" has been in the corner of the lively Tsukiji market since the morning. The area around the shop is also crowded with many people.


It was next to the "nobori" that fluttered in the wind of Hatata and Tsukiji! "Kanmon sea urchin"! The black visual was still noticeable even in the showcase, and people passing by seemed to be worried and sent a hot look.


Purchase one freshly steamed "Kanmon Uniman" (300 yen) and one "Kiwami" (840 yen). A total of 1,140 yen for two Chinese steamed buns is the first high price! As expected, sea urchin is a high-class ingredient. What kind of taste is it ...?


First of all, we will start with "Kanmon Sea Urchin". The black skin part contains bamboo charcoal. It is fluffy and soft, and you can feel the scent peculiar to charcoal. When you divide it in half, the "sea urchin" that shines golden from the inside ...!


"An", which is kneaded with fish meat and yam, is a fluffy hanpen style. The moment you put it in your mouth, the flavor of sea urchin spreads.

The crunchy texture that you sometimes feel is probably chicken cartilage. The taste of sea urchin can be felt firmly, but the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing. There is no fishy smell!


Next, I will try eating "Goku". This is a cream sauce made from steamed sea urchin and sea urchin paste, and it contains two layers of "an" topped with "raw sea urchin". !! !!




The scent of the tide that comes out of your nose when you eat a bite. And a relaxed and creamy texture. This is an unmistakable sea urchin! It's a sea urchin! !! I will leave a strong lingering sound in my mouth, "I'm eating sea urchin now."

By the way, it is recommended to eat "Goku" with "An" attached. When I put it into practice, I felt like I was eating a sea urchin gunkanmaki! Graphically!


When I was eating sea urchin in the market alone, another customer asked me, "Oh, what's that?" And I got to know each other a little.

Sea urchin that connects the circle of people. It may become a new “special product” of Tsukiji! ??
