Mutsurejima, Seaweed, and Bottled Uni from Shimonoseki
In Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, uni is counted among the city's five major seafood names, especially through bottled uni and tsubu-uni. Its local background begins with the coast: sea urchin fossils from the Jomon-period Shiomachi shell mound are described as about 5,000 years old. A modern origin account moves to early Meiji-era Mutsurejima, where gin is said to have spilled into a small bowl of uni during a conversation at Saikyoji temple, giving rise to alcohol-pickled uni. Across Yamaguchi, seaweed-rich waters support bafun uni, aka uni, and murasaki uni; bafun uni is harvested mainly from June to July and is used for bottled processing.
