Wholesale Dried Shiitake Mushroom Powder - 50g

Not all mushroom powders are the same. Their contributions to a dish vary greatly. Take porcini powder, which is a beast of flavor and can dominate a dish. Shiitake powder is different, gentler. Think of it this way, adding porcini adds porcini flavor, but adding shiitake adds umami with shiitake flavor. Takehisa’s shiitake powder is wonderful because the mushrooms are grown slowly in the forest during the colder months, which develops intense flavor and umami. We use this wonderful condiment when we want to add an umami depth to a dish. For us the most obvious usage is ramen. Add some to the broth and the umami levels soar. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. About the producer: For over 85 years Takehisa has been a family-owned shiitake company located in Chikugo in Kyushu.
