Shiitake

Shiitake dashi is made from dried shiitake mushrooms. It is characterized by its robust earthy flavor. Shiitake mushrooms contain a different umami component, guanylic acid, from kombu. Combining different umami components creates a synergistic effect of umami and it dramatically enhances the taste of dishes. They are particularly rich in vitamin D.
Mitoku offers fine dried Shiitake from Japan’s Southern island Kyushu, where the most cultivation of and highest production volume of dried shiitake is made.
