Product Name: Buna Shimeji Mushrooms

Scientific Name: Hypsizygus tessellatus

General 

Buna shimeji (Hypsizygus tessellatus) is an edible mushroom native to East Asia. It is cultivated locally in temperate climates in Europe, North America, and Australia and sold fresh in supermarkets. In nature, shimeji are gilled mushrooms that grow on wood. Most often the mushroom is found on beech trees, hence the common name, Beech Mushroom. They are often small and thin in appearance and popular in many nations across the world.

Description

Bunashimeji has a nutty, buttery flavor, and a firm, crunchy texture. These mushrooms also grow in clusters and produce tender caps. Our Brown Beech mushrooms have been formulated to lessen the bitterness of traditional Bunashimeji. Still, western palettes will probably best enjoy Brown beech mushrooms after cooking, which mellow the flavor. Try this specialty mushroom baked, steamed, or sauteed in olive oil.

Storage and shelf life

This mushroom block can be stored at 2-8 degree celcius for longer storage.  

Flavour and use 

• Being tough when raw, the Shimeji should be cooked, having a bitter taste when raw which disappears completely upon cooking. 

• The cooked mushroom has a firm, slightly crunchy texture and a nutty flavor. 

• Preparation makes the mushroom easier to digest. It is often eaten with stir-fried foods including wild game and seafood.

•  It is used in soups, stews, and sauces. 

• When prepared alone, Shimeji mushrooms can be sautéed as a whole, including the stem or stalk (only the very end cut off), using a higher temperature; or, they can be slow-roasted on a low temperature with a small amount of butter or cooking oil. 

• Shimeji is used in soups, nabe and takikomi gohan.
