  1. At a restaurant this would be an 80$ dish. Probably meant to share between folks becoming of the price.

  2. Depends on the quality. 25 – 50 bucks. A really fancy place could get away with 80 bucks

  3. This could be $20-30 at H-Mart (a Korean supermarket in the US) or $60 and upwards at a restaurant.

  4. My favorite shop has a santa barbera Uni sashimi plate for 45, it looks like it’s just a piece or two smaller than this.

  5. As others have said it really depends on the grade of the uni and its source. Could be anywhere from 25 dollars to 100+

  6. Unpopular opinion but just seeing the texture of uni makes me feel sick

  7. I feel like 40-50 is probably right. This looks like 3 pieces worth, which are 15-20/piece. But there is no rice here.

  8. This would run about $80 around the Bay Area California. It also depends where the Uni is from.

  9. The market near me will sell a portion roughly similar to what you’d get in Nigiri for about $10-15

  10. That looks like Bafun Uni, but it’s very difficult to ID the price without knowing the source and brand (yes, there are many different) and even in some cases the grade.

    For example, some Uni that goes through Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo gets graded and auctioned (just like the more famous honmaguro/tuna). Those are much more expensive.

  11. The market is different in every city/region. There’s no way to say just from this picture. Could be pricey or could be cheap. Also, if it’s shipped from Japan, a lot of the price is just because it was shipped. It’s gonna always be way cheaper if you actually in or around Hokkaido.

  12. Where I’m from it would be $200 in a casino and $60 in a hibachi restaurant with better quality and better trained chefs to maintain said quality.
