Forest shiitake
Shiitake mushrooms hold a special place in Japanese culinary history, especially in Oita Prefecture, recognized as the birthplace of traditional shiitake cultivation. For nearly 400 years, artisans in this region have refined their craft, beginning with Genbei, who pioneered Japan’s earliest growing techniques. Oita’s ideal climate and forested landscape helped establish “Oita dried shiitake” as one of the country’s most esteemed varieties. Within this region, Beppu is particularly renowned for producing mushrooms with an authentic depth and naturally rich aroma, reflecting a legacy that continues to define their exceptional quality today.
