Arômes de la Sauce Soja au Shiitake de Umami

The deep, salty flavor of traditional soy sauce is enhanced by the addition of shiitake mushrooms, which contribute earthy, slightly sweet, and subtly smoky notes. This fusion creates a unique aromatic profile where the natural sweetness of shiitake perfectly balances the saltiness of the soy sauce, adding unmatched depth and richness to your dishes.

What is Shiitake?

Shiitake, scientifically known as Lentinula edodes, is a mushroom native to East Asia. It naturally grows on hardwoods like oak, beech, and chestnut. Characterized by a brown, meaty cap, 5 to 10 centimeters in diameter, with a slightly scaly texture, shiitake thrives in humid, shaded conditions typical of temperate forests. In cultivation, it is often grown on logs or enriched substrate blocks.
