What's so Special About Shiitake Powder?

Natural Umami Seasoning

Shiitake mushrooms are rich in guanylic acid, a natural umami component that brings richness and depth to dishes. Perfect for miso soup, soups, simmered dishes, and stir-fries—and also excellent in curry, pasta, or dressings.
It’s even popular overseas as a seasoning for steak and salads, giving dishes a flavor upgrade with just a small amount.

Japan’s “Umami” Gaining Global Attention

Around the world, recipes that highlight the umami of shiitake mushrooms are being introduced. Shiitake powder is increasingly used to bring out natural flavor in many types of cooking.

Surprisingly Delicious in Sweet Pairings

It may sound unusual, but some people love sprinkling shiitake powder on vanilla ice cream—it’s said to double the flavor. The umami compounds bring out the best in the ice cream.
Recommended amount: about 1/2 teaspoon per cup (140 ml) of vanilla ice cream.

Attention in Japan Too

Even NHK’s program “Gatten!” featured a special on dried shiitake, showing the growing attention in Japan.

At Kawashimaya, we’ve prepared an organic shiitake powder that’s both delicious and body-friendly.
