Taste / Flavor

Bunapi® is a registered trademark of the Hokuto Corporation and was developed from our efforts to breed Bunashimeji (Hypsizygus tessellatus).

Despite its unassuming appearance, Bunapi® offers a surprising combination of nuttiness, buttery flavor, and a firm, crunchy texture. Its firmness and natural flavor complement well with savory herbs like thyme and hearty dishes like stir-fries and wild game. Bunapi® is somewhat bitter in its raw state, but very enjoyable once cooked. Try it in soups, stews, or your favorite sauces. It also makes a great meat substitute in your favorite recipes.

 

USDA Organic

Remove the base

Like the Bunashimeji, Bunapi® has a base. Separate them to halves then cut the base in "V" angle. Unlike other mushrooms, Bunapi®  bases are white so make sure you don't cut off the edible part.

 
 
How to cook Bunapi

Separate the mushrooms

Like the Bunashimeji, it is best to separate Bunapi® into a bite size portion. By doing so, it becomes easier to cook and eat and will increase the volume of a dish.

Can be used in a variety of dishes

Bunapi® has almost no waste when cooking. It can be prepared in a variety of different ways, such as, simmered, slow cooked, stir-fried, or in a salad.

Use as a topping 

Bunapi®  is pure white, which can be used to enhance the color of your dish. By separating them individually, they can be used in a salad, soup or any kind of toppings. They will not interfere with the color of other foods, but rather enhance the other components in a dish.
