Moreover, our drying and packaging process keeps the moisture content to < 9% which enhances the Shiitake flavor and Vitamin D content.

The most popular dried DONKO Shiitake mushroom on Amazon Japan. Japanese famous chef, Dr. Yukio Hattori, chose our Shiitake for his traditional Japanese New Year food "Osechi." He is known as an expert commentator on the Japanese television show "Iron Chef." His cooking school recommends our Shiitake and allows us to use his name on our products.

This shiitake mushroom is called Donko. It is harvested while it is still budding, producing a thicker and meatier mushroom, bite-size, 25-42mm.
