Our Whole Dried Shiitake Mushrooms are a cornerstone of Asian pantries, prized for their incredibly intense, smoky, and umami flavor, which is much more concentrated than their fresh counterparts. The drying process creates a deep, savory character. When rehydrated, they become tender yet meaty, and the soaking liquid creates a flavorful, aromatic broth (dashi) that is a fantastic base for soups and sauces. A must-have for authentic Asian cooking.

Good flavor, some broken pieces: The flavor of these dried shiitake is very intense and umami-rich. They are great for stocks. In our last shipment, there were more broken pieces than usual, but the overall quality of the mushroom itself was still very high.
Great flavor, requires careful cleaning: These dried shiitake have a fantastic, deep umami flavor. They do require a careful rinse after soaking to remove some grit, but the resulting flavor in our broths is worth the extra step. A very good product.
Thank you for the feedback. We will enhance our pre-drying cleaning process. We're glad you enjoy the rich flavor!

We apologize for the higher number of broken pieces in your last order and are reviewing our handling procedures. We are glad the flavor quality remained high and appreciate your continued business.
