Mushrooms have had their own revolution in the realm of food for health.
Researchers have discovered that in over an estimated 38,000 species of
mushrooms, most provide a wealth of protein, fiber, B Vitamins and Vitamin C.
The most powerful being the Maitake mushroom, native to the mountains of
Northeastern Japan. More commonly known in the United States as ‘hen of the
woods’, Japanese doctors have been using the maitakes to lower blood
pressure blood lipids, two key factors in cardiovascular disease. Even more
importantly, maitakes are a rich source of Beta-Glucan. These compounds
play a major role in triggering the immune system, which plays a role in
controlling the growth and spread of cancer. One may enjoy the benefits of the
maitake in supplement form, in tea made from dried maitakes or with the actual
mushroom.
Health benefits aside, maitakes have an amazing taste. The rich, woodsy
flavor and the firm, meaty texture of the flesh make them the standout
ingredient of any dish. Maitakes are on their way to becoming one of the staples
of the Asian diet (along with soy, fish and tea) that are believed to
confer good health and longevity. Chef Ming Tsai has begun importing fresh
maitakes through the Yukiguni Maitake Corporation of America for use in his
restaurant.. These items are Yukiguni dried maitakes, which have an
unlimited shelf life and Yukiguni maitake tea, an earthy flavored brew
containing a mixture of 100% dried maitakes and other Asian herbs. For

The "Yukiguni" Maitake Mushroom
- Tasty - Florence Fabricant, the food
editor of the NY Times says Maitake Mushrooms are "quite
meaty, with a delicately nutty flavor, and holds its shape and crips texture
extremely well in the saute pan. And it doesn't sop as much oil as
other mushrooms." Their unique aroma and crunchy texture make
them a perfect match for any type of cuisine.
- Healthy - Being rich in vitamins B1,
B2, D, as well as vegetable fiber and ploysaccharides, Maitake Mushrooms promote
good health. All of Yukiguni Maitake Mushrooms are
organically grown using pure subterranean water. No agricultural
chemicals, manure, chemical fertilizers or preservatives are used.
- Legendary - In ancient times Maitake
Mushrooms were considered both "precious and rare" (In
fact, Shoguns once traded them pound for pound with silver). Today,
these still precious mushrooms grown in Yukiguni's immaculate facilities are
available to all.
