うに丼ですごいお店、佐井村のぬいどう食堂の紹介です。

青森の海産物ではマグロ以外にもイカ、ホタテなどなど
めちゃめちゃ美味しい海産物があるのですが、
ちょっと痺れる安さと美味しさなのが「うに丼」です。

札幌の二条一場とかはうに丼で有名ですよね。
でも、今ではあそこは一杯３５００円とかの高級丼屋さんだらけで、
あまり昔のようなお得感はなくなりました。

その点、佐井村まで行くとすごいお店がいくつも国道沿いにあります。
その中では「ぬいどう食堂」のうに丼定食。

な、なんと、ウニ５０個が乗っています。
それも朝取れで港につないだびくに入れたウニを午前中に用意する。

売れ行きがよければ追加でその場で剥いて出してくれるんです。
それに食堂の叔母ちゃんのご主人の釣ってきた魚料理が付いて、

１５００円。

ウニ５０個剥きたてが「ごわぁぁぁ〜〜〜！」と、
これでもか盛りで乗っかって、
釣りたての地の魚料理が付いて、１５００円。

まあ、安い、っていうのもあるけど
５０個の取れたてウニのてんこ盛りの丼、憧れますね。。。


えっと、その、ぬいどう食堂の住所とか電話番号ですが、
メモし損ねました。すみません。
がんばって検索してみてくださいね。。。　 <(＿ ＿)>


Have you ever tried sea urchin rice bowl?

It is very popular Japanese sea food rice bowl especially in northern region. Oh, at first I have to explain about rice bowl style eating. In japan, steamed rice is the main food to take carbohydrate and protein in every three meal.
Steamed rice is very convinient food, as itself do not have strong taste, it can be adjusted to any dishes of fish, meat, vegetables and so on. So we Japanese use it to make rice bowl with those meat or fish putting them on rice. This is one of the Japanese original fastfood.
You may know "Yoshinoya" in some US cities selling beef rice bowl.

Sea urchin, have you ever seen it in seaside or sea food shop?
It looks like a hedgehog or maron in spiky shell, but inside the spiky shell, you can find a lot of yellowih or orange colored gonad and Japanese love to eat them.

Since the numbers of sea urchin gradually decreased in these a few decades, the sea urchin gaonad is not cheap enough to use it as fastfood. Now sea urchin rice bowl costs more than 3000yen, 25 US dollars, however, you can enjoy it at reasonable price in seaside village in Aomori prefecture.

Local small restaurants usually have sea urchin rice bowl in their menu, and it costs less than 1500 yen with a lot of fresh sea urchin.
Nuidou syokudou is one of the famous small restaurant in Sai village.
You can enjoy seafood set with sea urchin rice bowl at 1500 yen, and surprisingly, you will find a lot of sea urchin gonad put on the rice bowl, more than two times much than expensive one you usually can eat in Sushi bar in Japanese big cities.

The taste of sea urchin taste like ...no I cannot imagine any western foods. Try and enjoy it when you visit Japan.
