Sugimoto Shiitake has Kosher, Organic, ISO22000 Certification and was awarded Japan's Highest Sustainability Award.

Our Shiitake are harvested 100% naturally in Japan. A two-season crop harvested by over 600 local cultivators who we know personally. Our cultivators grow Shiitake on Sweet Japanese Oak, the best medium for the most flavorful and textured Shiitake. The cultivation process is completely sustainable and supports a traditional local heritage and community. Competitors grow their Shiitake quickly, cheaply & artificially in Green Houses using sawdust, and chemicals to bleach and sanitize their products.

This is a great opportunity for you to taste the Forest-grown Shiitake endorsed by many top chefs.

Zen Minestrone Soup
Reimagining the Italian staple with the Japanese principles of Zen cooking in mind, this brothy soup is light and refreshing, yet wholly satisfying thanks to a rich palette of deep flavors, varied textures, vibrant colors, and ample umami. Many New Yorkers very well received this soup at Vegandale Fest NY.
