Japanese Donko Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

Takehisa Japanese Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (Donko) are prized for their rich, earthy umami and deep aroma. Grown slowly over the winter, these premium mushrooms develop a concentrated flavor and dense texture that enhances a wide range of dishes. Perfect for making dashi, enriching boiled dishes, and adding depth to soup bases, they also shine in Chinese recipes thanks to their meaty bite. Once rehydrated, the mushrooms themselves are delicious to eat—so be sure to savor them as well as the broth they create.

Takehisa is dedicated to bringing the highest quality shiitake mushrooms from Japan to kitchens around the world. Their meticulous cultivation process and attention to flavor ensure each mushroom delivers the authentic taste and texture that define this essential ingredient in Japanese cooking.
