Organic Japanese Dried Shiitake DONKO, 25-42mm, 70g

Love these mushrooms. High quality.

Shipping was a day and a half late which put our project into a tailspin.Mushrooms were relatively small but were high-quality Donko-grade Shiitake.

The mushrooms were too small desu. 😕

Makes delicious stuffed mushrooms

Excellent to have on-hand when making soups and stews or sauces these USDA certified organic dehydrated shiitake mushrooms are flavorful and convenient. A product of Japan the 2.47 ounce package I received contains 17 mushrooms with caps that measure approximately from 1 1/4 to 2 inches in diameter.To hydrate I usually give them a quick rinse and then they may be soaked in cold water in the fridge for 24 hours or soaked in warm water for 30 minutes to an hour and a half depending upon size. They may also be used as a powder for seasoning to add umami to a dish. Also the water they soak in is flavorful and a good addition to almost anything being prepared with them.After they are re-hydrated use whole or slice or chop as desired. To estimate shelf-life at the time of this review in June 2023 the Best By date is 9 months in the future but dates will vary. After opening the mushrooms should be kept tightly sealed (the pouch is re-sealable) or transferred to an air tight container. Excellent.

Ridiculous price for 7 mushrooms

These shiitake mushroom caps are extremely delicious. Meaty and flavorful.I soaked mine in cold water in the fridge for 20 hours due to the time frame. Then I ate a couple sliced up and made the rest into a various mushroom sauté.I really liked these were all caps, no pieces and you could stuff these if you wanted. However, these are a premium price and I can’t see myself buying these in future when I can get them locally. I may not be getting the same quality as these, but they’re at least 1/2 the price and higher quantity.

These dried shiitake mushrooms were beautiful and delicious. I rehydrated them overnight with room temperature water and they were plush and juicy by morning. I like that they are organic and they do taste a little sweeter than the dried shiitake mushrooms I regularly eat. However, I do find them very expensive for the portion size. At 70g for $24.99 (at the time of writing), they would cost about half the listed price at my local Asian market. For this reason, I would not recommend these mushrooms unless you are willing to pay a premium.

分厚く美味しい

期待したより小さい。また、いしきは取られているが、足が付いている。
