Japanese Dried Shiitake Mushroom Powder

This unique, versatile, easy-to-use, and umami-rich powder is made with only forest-grown shiitake mushrooms.

Containing an abundance of guanylic acid—one of the umami’s components—dried shiitake mushrooms are a true umami booster, however, Sugimoto’s dried shiitake mushrooms are even richer in umami and sweeter than most mass-produced dried shiitake.

Sugimoto uses a 1000-year old Japanese approach to growing sustainable Sawtooth Oak tree logs in the deep forest of Takachiho-go in Kyushu that host the mushrooms and allow them to grow slowly in a clean, natural environment. Immediately after harvesting, the mushrooms are dried with hot air, and afterwards are further dried under infrared driers to ensure a lower moisture content and retain their flavor and aroma.
