Sea Urchin Sushi

The Japanese know how to appreciate Uni better than most, so why not take inspiration from their cuisine? Sushi is a great way to involve your family in cooking and understanding the wonderful flavour of sea urchin. In Japan, uni is generally served as gunkan maki sushi – but you can experiment with different styles.  suggest three in this recipe.
