Donko Shiitake – dried mushrooms
Shiitake naturally grows on the stump of the Shii tree in Asia. The best-known variety is Donko Shiitake, which is picked in winter (January–March) before the cap opens. The round shape and compact flesh give a deeper umami flavor than the lighter variety, Koshin.
Donko Shiitake is especially prized in Japanese cuisine, where it is used to make dashi, but it is also suitable for soups, braises, or sautéed in dishes. Their strong umami profile makes them a versatile ingredient that can elevate both vegetarian and meat dishes.
Preparation
Pour boiling water over the mushrooms and let them soak for about 15 minutes before using. The soaking water can be used as a flavorful stock.
Characteristics
- Donko Shiitake – intense umami flavor
- Picked in winter, before the cap opens
- Ideal for dashi, soups, and sautéed dishes
- Must be soaked for 15 min. in boiling water
