This high-quality Japanese shiitake mushroom powder is a healthy way to boost the flavor of dishes. It is a coarse-milled, versatile mushroom powder made from forest-grown organic Japanese shiitakes cultivated in Kyushu region.
According to the producer Sugimoto, a nutrition unique to shiitake called guanylate is said to enhance the mechanism of the umami taste sensation, and the forest-grown shiitake has 6 times more guanylate than that grown in mushroom beds.
This product helps you to achieve a salt-free diet. The guanylate significantly increases the food's umami, giving you a sense that dishes taste richer. In other words, if you replace the salt with this shiitake powder, you can enjoy the flavor of dishes stronger without any risk of surplus salt intake.
You can enjoy its shiitake umami in three steps: first, its fine powder instantly dissolves and make dishes tastier; second, the coarse powder gradually enhance the umami, and the passage of time makes this experience more enjoyable; and third, the powder remaining on your tongue offers an aftertaste of intense umami.
The shiitakes are thoroughly dehydrated with a far infrared ray process to lock the vitamin D inside them (5,440 IU [136mcg] per 100g). It is said that a spoonful of this product can satisfy the recommended daily vitamin D intake for adults.
This product also has a kosher certification (authenticated under the OU Kosher).
Add a spoonful of shiitake powder into the foods and drinks.
You can enhance its umami by letting it wet for 10 minutes before use. A tablespoonful amount of the powder and two tablespoons of water is equal to a spoonful of dry powder in terms of flavor intensity.
Cook sufficiently when consuming the powder.

- MTMarshall T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/28/24The best shiitake mushrooms in the world!
The Sugimoto family grows their Shiitake mushrooms in Kyushu(southern Japan big 4 island). They use natural log cultivation(traditional method) instead of wood dust. They grow their mushrooms on sweet sap oak tree that impart a woodsy and strong umami. This is a secret weapon to "Umami-up!" your dishes. I use this with everything from pizza, to dashi, and even mix it in with shoyu before pouring over a steak or salmon!

My favorite mushroom powder so far. I've brewed this as a tea, put it in soup, in my coffee, in my quiches, and in my omelettes.
- AFAnthony F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/15/23Boosts the flavor!
This is great for adding umami to meals. I mostly use it in my BBQ rubs but I've also used it in soups, broths, dips, you name it. Everything I've added it to so far tastes better. Especially great on smash burgers added to your burger seasoning. I will definitely be getting more. Hope this helps.
