Ayabe Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
In the clear air of Tanba, the mushrooms slowly absorb umami within the logs. Ayabe's dried shiitake boast thick flesh and a concentrated flavor unique to log cultivation. Ayabe, located in northern Kyoto Prefecture, is a forest village surrounded by mountains. Shiitake spores are planted into logs made of oak and konara, allowing them to grow over time through the power of nature. When the harvested mushrooms are dried, the moisture evaporates, concentrating the umami components and transforming them into a deep flavor that differs from fresh mushrooms. Because even the soaking liquid produces a rich broth, they are highly versatile for simmered dishes, hot pots, and mixed rice (takikomi gohan). These are deeply nutritious dried shiitake nurtured by the mountains of Tanba. Simply adding them to a dish will greatly enrich your dining table.
