The rehydrating water from our Japanese forest-grown dried shiitake mushrooms is full of umami, so please use it in your cooking.

Using shiitake powder leaves particles in the dish, but stem broth is liquid, so it looks beautiful and deepens the umami evenly throughout the dish.

Use 10 g of dried shiitake mushrooms and 1 litre of water, not just the stems.

The shaved bonito is placed in a bowl and then poured into the finished miso soup. The miso soup is completed in the bowl and the shaved bonito is also eaten without wasting it as an ingredient.
