CONCEPT
After 30 year experience in Kamiyama Shiitake cultivation only on mushroom beds method, we have developed our own cultivation technology. This has finally succeeded us in a consistent production of big and meaty Kamiyama Shiitake mushrooms. We harvest the highest possible quality of Shiitake mushrooms throughout the year from Kamiyama town in Tokushima prefecture, where you find fresh forest air and spring water.
Sustainability
Enhancing the environmental sustainability, we grow our mushrooms in the most eco-friendly way. We cultivate Kamiyama Shiitake on the mushroom beds formed by broadleaf forest trees. After the harvest, the beds will become a compost to be recycled for the secondary crop production.
We are committed to tree planting projects, dietary education, and recruiting the local workers to nurture understanding of the gift from nature and appreciation towards it. Our aim is to grow it local and give back to nature.
Safe and Secure
Kamiyama Shiitake is preservative/pesticide-free. It is for achieving the safety and security of the food. We applied high pressure sterilisation immediately after the mushroom beds are formed. We plant mushroom spawns in clean sterile rooms in order to prevent the contamination by any bacteria. The mushrooms grow in climate controlled greenhouses. We keep them refrigerated as fresh as possible after harvesting, then, pack and ship out to the world. In order to prevent the contamination at the final stage, we conduct visual checks twice, as well as by a metal detector, and radiological examination.
Throughout the year
We are now able to deliver big and meaty Kamiyama Shiitake to consumers throughout the year. We have obtained the Tokushima Safe GAP certificate. We are committed to building up the environment where nature and agriculture can co-exist. As a result, Kamiyama Shiitake can have large-scale cultivation in hilly and mountainous areas, and ensure a stable quality and consistent shipping amount.
