Log-cultivated Maitake

This 'log-cultivated maitake' is grown in Mamurogawa Town, Yamagata Prefecture. It is a masterpiece born from a land rich in nature, where forests cover most of the town. Log cultivation is a labor-intensive method where spores are planted on logs and grown in an environment close to nature. Grown without pesticides and nurtured by the high-humidity mountain climate, these mushrooms grow as large as big chrysanthemums, and at the time of harvest, the entire area is enveloped in a fragrant aroma. Unlike substrate cultivation, they offer incomparable deep aroma, umami, and a firm texture. When prepared as tempura, the aroma stands out, and when added to hot pots, they produce a wonderful broth. Please enjoy the full, luxurious taste of autumn's mountain bounty.
