Why We Don't Serve Uni Anymore

@tanizaki on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/tanizaki) publicly asked us if we served "uni" last week. Much to our dismay, we had to become the bearer of bad news by telling him that we stopped serving the interesting treat recently. Although we haven't heard from him since, we hope that he understood our reasoning and won't hold a grudge against us for it.

Many of you are probably wondering what exactly uni is. Well, for those of you that can stomach the idea, it's the eatable part of a sea urchin. What part of the sea urchin is that, you might ask? It's the gonads.

Uni may not look too appetizing, but it is surprisingly delicious.

The real reason we stopped serving items like uni is because we always keep our seafood fresh, and never frozen. You can only imagine the money we were wasting bringing in uni and having it sit in the back unordered. It became quite a hassle for us. Yes, we would have the occasional customer swallow their pride and order uni, but for whatever reason, it's just not a piece of sushi that lends itself to mainstream desire.

So unfortunately, if you want to try uni, you are going to have to look elsewhere in Orlando. However, if we do start seeing a strong desire for it, you never know - we may end up ordering it consistently again.
