SHIMEJI MUSHROOM GROWING KITS

Bunashimeji grow in small clusters and are usually sold in these bunches. In its raw form, the taste is bitter, but the bitterness disappears when it’s cooked and morphs into a pleasantly nutty taste. The long, slim stalk of the bunashimeji is often included in a dish, especially in soups. Like many mushrooms, it is said to enhance the umami flavor in a dish. A popular way to cook with bunashimeji is to include it in a rice dish, like a gohan, instead of a meat.
