PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Sugimoto Premium Forest-Grown dried Shiitake is cultivated locally by 600+ traceability-managed growers. The growers use a 1,000-year-old Japanese approach to grow sustainable Sweet Sap Oak (Sawtooth Oak) Tree logs. Our Shiitake are grown on Sawtooth Oak which is in Japan recognized as producing the best-tasting and textured.
Naturally, Forest-grown Shiitake has a distinct and deep flavor with an outstanding firm texture. Forest-grown Shiitake grows slowly when cold winds and natural sunlight quickly dried moisture provided by rain and fog. Each Shiitake has its own unique climatic exposure, which produces distinctive shapes and colors.
