Flawless balance of tart, sweet & savoury

In Japan, shiitake mushrooms are cherished as “the steak from the mountain", thanks to its soft and chewy texture and succulent flesh. Our shiitake pickle makes an excellent garnish, especially for mildly seasoned roasts, braais and noodles. Slice and serve it with grilled steak, salads, rice, or even gourmet cheese toasties. The brine is ideal for making salad dressing: find the recipe on the label.

So much flavour!

I absolutely love these! They are incredibly delicious and packed with flavour. I made an orange miso bean salad and added these mushrooms on top—they complemented it so perfectly! Honestly, I’ve been putting them on everything - salads, sandwiches, and even straight out of the jar. Highly recommend!

Great Experience!

From the moment I placed my order I received excellent service. Communication was great and my delivery was quick and easy. Umami’s products are delicious and I am looking forward to tucking into my goodies.

Amazing Mushrooms

Who could have thought that a mushroom could have sooooo much flavour. These mushrooms are amazing especially on chicken wraps or any type of burger.

Put it on a sandwiches, or a steak, as a ramen topping, salad, cheese board, adds a really nice tangy flavor.
