Tricholoma matsutake

S tier

Tricholoma matsutake is the Japanese matsutake—pine-associated, spicy-aromatic, meaty luxury mushroom with cinnamon-pine perfume. Wild only, expensive, graded meticulously in Japan. Texture is firm and prized. Grill with salt (dobin-mushi, sukiyaki, simple salt-grill); do not overpower with heavy sauce. Aroma is the luxury. Handle gently; dirt on base is normal.
