We guarantee that our premium forest-grown Shiitake is 100% naturally harvested in Oita, Miyazaki, and Kumamoto, located in central Kyushu, Japan. These regions produce the best-tasting & textured Shiitake on Japanese Sweet Sap Oak, plus the most Umami. The famous Japanese Iron Chef Judge Yukio Hattori endorses and uses.

Our forest-grown Shiitake cultivation method is almost 1,000 years old. Sawtooth oak stumps generate new shoots, which also promotes more undergrowth and new healthier trees. Young trees absorb more CO2 and healthy undergrowth prevents water loss and erosion.

Dried shiitake mushrooms have long been known to boost Umami. Now, people worldwide are recognizing the natural and healthy taste enhancer that can be used daily with any meal: steaks, hamburgers, fish, soups, and vegetables. Just rubbing shiitake powder on meats, chicken, vegetables, or any food elevates the taste to a new delicious level and with no shiitake flavor!

Dried Shiitake produces Guanylate, an umami enhancer not found in fresh Shiitake. Our Shiitake is cured by far-infrared driers and shipped with 9% moisture or less to maintain flavor. They have the most vitamin D of all natural foods. The only company in the world to grow its products on natural logs without pesticides and certified as kosher by only using heating and hand inspected to eliminate any impurities. We also have organic certification.
