I'm not exactly sure what type of uni this is, but I got a big box of it as a gift, and I've been trying out different ways to eat it at home. The most effective has been with just rice and seaweed, as that let the sweet and savory richness come through. When I tried putting it on scrambled eggs and sourdough bread, the taste of the urchin got lost inside it. Using it as a topping for buttered pasta worked pretty well though, giving those carbs delightful punches of creamy brininess once in a while. But rice was still the best fit.

so envy u !!
That looks like a 250g box of Bafun Narabi Uni. Bafun being more orangey, and with generally smaller lobes. Narabi meaning it's arranged in straight lines rather than in a criss cross pattern (which would be Bara). From the presentation, it could be from Russia or Hokkaido.
Lucky you. Prices are up up and up these days since the red tide right after typhoon season.
