Log-grown Shiitake Mushroom
It has a good fragrance, a strong taste, and a solid meat quality.
Shiitake is one of the most common mushrooms consumed in Japan. They grow on withered broad-leaved trees such as Quercus crispula or konara oak. They come into season in Spring and Autumn. In Oe Town, our log-grown Shiitake mushroom is mainly grown by artificial cultivation and gathered throughout a year. Compared to Mushroom bed cultivation (the list price is cheaper), the log-grown method cultivates them under conditions that are closer to their native environment. Therefore, log-grown shiitake mushrooms are characterized by its pleasant aroma, rich flavor, and meaty flesh. We can get fragrant soup stock from dried shiitake.
