MATSUTAKE is special mushroom for Japanese,
which has distinctive and pleasant flavor.
MATSUTAKE for Japanese might be portini or truffle for Italian, I guess.
As the number of MATSUTAKE is getting decreased,
the price is getting higher and higher these days.
We cook MATSUTAKE with rice and other ingredients, MATSUTAKE-GOHAN.
Japanese drizzles MATSUTAKE-GOHAN with fresh SUDACHI, Japanese citrus fruit.
MATSUTAKE also suits for CHAWANMUSHI, steamed egg hotchpotch.
Put fresh MATSUTAKE in a pot.
Add egg soup and steam.
MATSUTAKE can grow only in red pine woods in autumn and can't be cultivate.
That's why MATSUTAKE is one of most expensive foods in Japan.
