Koshin

A tier

Koshin shiitake are thinner, more fully opened caps—lighter than donko, common as standard dried and fresh grade. Flavour is still true shiitake umami; texture is less steak-like than donko. Everyday stir-fries, ramen toppings, and soaked dried slices. Reliable workhorse grade. Good value for bulk cooking.
