Uni that doesn't taste "right" / doesn't taste the way that it should taste Explanation: In this case, they are saying that the uni doesn't taste the way that it should, something about the flavor is "off". Literally, it is 'rough tasting' or 'has a rough flavor'. They only want uni that has a full, natural flavor that tastes the way that you would expect uni to taste and, for one reason or another, this uni doesn't meet that expectation. HTH. |

| 雑味(がなく） (flavors aren't) discordant Explanation: I "think" that the speaker is trying to assure us that despite the heavy presence of salt, the delicious, rich flavor of the urchin comes through -that the saltiness doesn't unduly contrast, or detract from the urchin's flavor. Not just for incongruous tones, we can see "discordant' used in relation to cooking and flavors. "DISCORDANT FLAVORS" (heading for entire section about halfway down page) http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/re... "...blends together discordant flavor notes, creating a smoother, more rounded flavor." blends together discordant flavor notes, creating a smoother, more rounded flavor.
