Fantastic maitake. These are my favorite mushroom and I've eaten them for years. The maitake from this company have that lovely, unmistakably distinctive flavor. I like maitake in almost any dish, from stir fries to soups. The "stem" part of the maitake is always tougher, but a tip - soak it, chop it and give it a bit more time to cook and it's as tender as the rest. Sometimes I save up the stem ends from a bag, and then crumble or powder and mix up a mushroom tea or "coffee" blend. Love my maitake!
