In July 2026, I was invited by my sister in Nagoya to a private lunch gathering at Sushi Jube in Fukui. I arrived in Fukui two days early to avoid being late, ready for a summer sea urchin feast! We entered the restaurant at 12:30 PM and took our seats at the counter. Let’s toast with some local sake from Fukui!The star of the show was the tasting of Fukui's red sea urchin, and both the ones from Obama and Tsuruga were incredibly delicious! We also enjoyed abalone, sweet shrimp, hairy crab, and tuna, all of which were absolutely fantastic. The variety of local sake was the cherry on top!It was a great meal.Here’s a list of the drinks and course items we enjoyed:【Drinks】◯ Hakuryu Junmai Ginjo Natsu Kiriri (Eiheiji Town)◯ Hakutake Sen Junmai Ginjo Natsumushi (Fukui City)◯ Jozan Gendatsu - Fisherman's Celebration Sake - (Fukui City)◯ Koshinotaka Junmai Ginjo BLUEHAWK (Fukui City)◯ Hayaseura Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Hama no Kaze (Mihama Town)◯ Ippongi Karasawa Limited Unfiltered (Katsuyama City)【Omakase Course】 (Sea Urchin Feast)★ Fukui Mozuku★ Fukui Baigai and Ishikawa's Ara★ Red Sea Urchin (Obama in front, Tsuruga in back)★ Summer Kue lightly grilled over charcoal★ Ishikawa's Hairy Crab Chawanmushi★ Fukui Abalone and Ishikawa Octopus☆ Kinmedai (Red Snapper)☆ Shima Aji (Striped Jack)☆ Fukui's Ken-saki Ika (Squid)☆ Akami (Red Meat) from Hokkaido, Funka Bay☆ Aji (Horse Mackerel)☆ Sweet Shrimp from Yamato Bank☆ Bonito☆ Obama Red Sea Urchin☆ Hokkaido Kitamurasaki Sea Urchin☆ Tuna, separated parts☆ Tuna, bloodline★ Miso Soup☆ Anago (Conger Eel)☆ Kanpyo Maki (Dried Gourd Roll)☆ Tamago (Egg)★ Matcha Blancmange
