Shiitake powder is a unique seasoning that enhances the natural umami flavor of food, making it deeper and richer. Furthermore, shiitake powder not only enhances flavor, but also tenderizes meat and reduces unpleasant odors. With continued use of our Shiitake powder, your tongue becomes more sensitive to the natural Umami of each food ingredient, and your taste buds learn to enjoy lighter, less fatty flavors with less salt.
