Log-Grown Shiitake Mushrooms
Pure, all-natural food born straight from nature
Log-Grown Shiitake Mushrooms introduction
Log-Grown Shiitake Mushrooms (原木椎茸, Genboku Shiitake) from Kumamoto Prefecture are cultivated using carefully prepared logs, such as oak, where shiitake spores are implanted. These mushrooms grow solely by absorbing nutrients from the logs. Set amidst natural forests, they thrive under the nurturing powers of sunlight, soil, water, and the changing seasons. This slow, natural process gives shiitake mushrooms their thick, meaty texture, satisfying chew, and distinct earthy flavor.
