The mushroom season arrives together with brilliant autumn colorsRelish the flavors of rare mushrooms nurtured by the nature of Mt. Gassan.
Mushroom season begins around the time the autumn colors appear on Mt. Gassan. At Tamaki, these dishes are second in popularity only to our wild vegetable dishes, and many people come from far and wide in fall just for these seasonal flavors. In addition, since many of Mt. Gassan's mushrooms are rare and generally difficult to acquire, you can eat your fill of amazing flavors not available anywhere else.

Hatakeshimeji (fried chicken mushroom)
Like 'honshimeji' (Lyophyllum shimeji), these delicious, firm mushrooms pair perfectly with any food.
Hokitake (cauliflower coral)
As its name implies, this mushroom has a unique shape, but is mild. It is popular and used in dishes such as marinated dishes, simmered dishes, and hot pot dishes.
Senbonshimeji (Lyophyllum fumosum)
These mushrooms are extremely rare and thus of high value as there is a limited number of days they can be harvested. Firm with a good mouthfeel, they are great for a wide range of dishes, including cooked with rice, hot pot dishes, marinated dishes, and soups.
Tobitake (Meripilus giganteus)
This mushroom is the first to be harvested in mushroom season. It is characterized by the fact that it darkens when bruised by touch, cooking, etc.
Various mushrooms
A variety of wild mushrooms are picked locally. The amount harvested depends on the year.
Wild eel
Highly nutritious wild eel are carefully selected and served as one of our meticulously prepared flavors of fall.
Char dried in cold weather
After char is lightly cooked over a charcoal fire, hot sake is poured over it to make sake flavored with grilled fish bone. This eliminates the smell particular to river fish and intensifies the flavor.
