Iconic Summer Dish 'Uni Pasta' Returns in 2026

This year marks the return of the much-anticipated summer delicacy, the "Hokkaido Sea Urchin Cold Spaghetti," affectionately nicknamed "Uni Pasta." Starting from June 1, 2026, customers can enjoy this exquisite dish at Mia Bocca locations, renowned for their commitment to using the highest-quality ingredients sourced from Hokkaido. This seasonal favorite will be available until August 16, 2026, allowing everyone to indulge in its delightful flavors throughout the hot summer months.

A Celebration of Freshness

What sets the Hokkaido Sea Urchin Cold Spaghetti apart is its luxurious topping of fresh sea urchin from Hokkaido, carefully selected and delivered straight from the ocean to our kitchens. The sea urchin is used without any additives, allowing the natural sweetness and delicate texture to shine. It's served on a bed of chilled, ultra-fine cappellini pasta tossed in a scrumptious olive oil-based sauce crafted from kombu (kelp) and scallop dashi. This meticulous process ensures that even the spaghetti itself is a standout, earning rave reviews for its exceptional taste.

A Delight for All

Since its introduction in June 2006, the Uni Pasta has captured the taste buds of both uni enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The dish's astoundingly fresh sea urchin—immersed in saltwater to maintain its pristine quality—has won over many who previously shunned the delicacy. The absence of synthetics normally used to preserve the sea urchin's texture has made it a true gem of summer dining. The unique aroma and sophisticated taste profile continue to evoke excitement among patrons year after year.

The Secret Behind the Flavor

One of the best-kept secrets of the Uni Pasta lies in its flavorful sauce, enriched with dashi made from kombu and scallops. This careful balancing of flavors elevates the overall dining experience, making it more than just an ordinary pasta dish. After numerous experiments, the chefs at Mia Bocca have mastered a blend that perfectly highlights the natural flavors of the sea urchin, creating a culinary experience that is truly unforgettable.
