About this item

  • Most popular Japanese dried Shiitake mushroom on Amazon Japan. Japanese famous chef, Dr. Yukio Hattori, chose our Shiitake for his traditional Japanese New Year foods "Osechi." He is known as an expert commentator on the Japanese television show "Iron Chef." And his cooking school recommends our Shiitake and allow us to use his face on our products.
  • Our Shiitake are perhaps the only Kosher certified Shiitake that are 100% naturally grown, not using greenhouses. Sugimoto shiitake are naturally cultivated outdoors on special sweet sap oak logs. Moreover, our drying and packaging process keeps the moisture content to less than 9% which enhances the Shiitake flavor and VitaminD content. Sugimoto Shiitake promotes 100% natural and sustainable cultivation using only carefully selected local cultivators.
  • This Shiitake mushroom is called “Koshin” and is picked after the cap of the Mushroom blooms into an umbrella. It is more large and flat than the “Donko” Shiitake mushroom which is picked earlier while the cap is still in a bud form. Since Koshin is less thick than the Donko, it is easier and quicker to use requiring less time to rehydrate. Koshin is best used cut and in stir-fries, soups, sauces, where smaller pieces are used with other ingredients.
  • In Kyushu, Japan, we use Japanese Sawtooth Oaks to cultivate Shiitake mushroom. Japanese Chestnut Oak is famous for its sweet sap. Natural Shiitake mushroom grows with nutriment from only the logs and moisture from thick fog and rain. Nature grown Shiitake mushroom contains an abundant amount of "Guanylate.” Guanylate is a powerful Umami booster working with glutamate to make a more intensely Umami flavor. Dried Shiitake mushroom has ten times more Guanylate than fresh. The process of drying an
  • Our products pass a yearly quality audit guaranteeing the consistency of the sourcing and production process of our Dried Shiitake mushroom. This Audit is conducted by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries with the Japanese Consumers' Co-operative Union. (JCCU)

Product Description

Store at room temperature, away from heat and moisture.

"Shiitake “and "Umami” is the Japanese word. However, today, most of the shiitake is made in China or cultivated using an artificial substrate such as sawdust.


Our Japanese Dried Shiitake are naturally cultivated outdoors using whole logs. You might not have yet tried natural-made Shiitake.


 Nature-made Shiitake contains large amounts of Guanylate which gives glutamate a much more intense Umami taste.



Tips for Rehydration
For the most delicious Shiitake, please soak it in cold water for 24 hours in the fridge. To reduce soaking time, take out the Shiitake one hour after you started soaking the mushrooms, chop it into small pieces and soak it for another hour and then use as needed.

Directions
1) Lightly wash with water and scour dust from the Shiitake.
2) Place the Shiitake in a container with enough water to completely cover the mushrooms after they sink.
3) Put into a less than 10°C/50°F fridge for 5-24 hours to improve the Umami.
4) To check for readiness, touch the stem. The joint stem is the hardest part of the Shiitake. When the stem feels some when squeezed, the Shiitake is ready to be used.
5) Cook for ten minutes or more, it increases Umami and becomes even tastier.

Our Shiitake are exposed to ultraviolet light in the factory so that we can further enhance and guarantee the amount of Vitamin D. USDA has reported that the most Vitamin D rich ingredient is brown mushrooms, exposed to ultraviolet light, it has 1,110 IU/87g. Our dried Shiitake will become 4x’s heavier after rehydration. If we compare our Shiitake with USDA data, the following calculation can be made. 9680 IU (242μg) / 100g (dried shiitake) ÷ 4 ＝ 2,420 IU (61μg) / 100g rehydrated shiitake = 1,936 IU (48μg) / 80g (Our Shiitake) In conclusion, our Shiitake has the most Vitamin D content of any natural foods.

Great taste! Light weight and easy to take on a long river trip!
We took these with us on a 21-day river rafting trip. We had limited refrigeration/cooler space. These mushrooms added much flavor, texture and appeal to everything from breakfast burritos to boeuf bourguignon. I will be taking them on all my future river trips and using them at home too!

While they seem pricey they are really worth it. A lot of flavor and meatiness when rehydrated. Unique and excellent. Better than what you'll get at the store. While it seems like a lot they do bulk up quite a bit. It's hard to imagine going back to another brand that calls for dried shiitakes after trying this.

4.0 out of 5 stars very tasty
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2019

Used these to make a vegetarian pho.. Excellent taste. Only problem I found was the recommended method of hydration did not go as described. I placed the shitake in cold water and waited for them to sink before refrigerating for 24 hours. After 2 hours they were still floating. I then cut them up as described in the quick method of preparation and placed them back in the cold water. About half of them sunk. The rest floated and remained floating for the entire 24 hr period.
Not a big deal but I thought i'd share the experience.

I use shiitake to make dashi and to use in dishes like my own adaptation of nikujaga. These are from Kyushu and are excellent. Inevitably, they are a bit pricey, but as I can't get them off the shelf in any local supermarket, or even in the "Asian" shops in Albany, they are worth it for me.

These taste really good when rehydrated! They also have a great texture that is nearly the same as fresh shiitake. Sometimes with dried mushrooms you get a gross rubbery texture, but not with these. Also, there was a cute little recipe book included in the package, which was an added bonus I didn't expect. You can learn how to cook with illustrations of their mascot "Shiitake Mama-san." :)

I had to put one star solely bc zero stars is not an option. My mistake ordering them as they are not returnable even if unopened. Mistook them for another brand.

The thinnest fragile dried mushrooms I have ever seen. They are not indicative of Japanese quality.

Honestly, I had no idea that there was a difference in shiitake mushrooms. This was a learning lesson for me. The mushrooms were a good size, no little sad mushrooms. The instruction pamphlet enclosed was handy. I actually learned a lot from it. I only got them because my local market was out, but I will just keep ordering these. Same price as my local store, but much better quality.

I use dried Shitake quite a bit for many different kinds of food. These days it's very hard to find it not from product of China. This is from Japan so I can trust the quality of it and it is pretty fresh and have good flavor which is key on this mushroom. Thanks for selling good quality Shitake.
