Nutritional Tips
Mushrooms are edible fungi and there are various types of mushrooms in different shapes, sizes, and colours. Some are toxic but the ones you buy at the supermarkets are generally healthy and tasty. In Japan, there are so many mushrooms including enoki, brown shimeji (buna-shimeji), white shimeji (bunapi), hon-shimeji, eringi, shitake, maitake-mushrooms, oyster mushrooms (hiratake), nameko-mushrooms, Matsutake-mushrooms (this is the most expensive mushroom, like French caviar, one piece can cost 10,000 JPY or more).
Mushrooms are generally known to be plain. However, each mushroom has its own texture and a slightly different taste. Therefore, each mushroom can best match a certain method of cooking. Of course, we can put all the mushrooms in a big pot and boil them along with meat or other vegetables including Chinese cabbage, carrots, daikon radish, and beansprouts (hotpod), which can be an amazing Japanese winter dish. I will introduce more mushrooms and recipes in the future.
