Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to processed products of shiitake mushrooms.

Shiitake mushrooms are loved for their taste and aroma, and are now grown all year round in various places, so they are an indispensable ingredient for cooking, and are used in vinegared dishes and in hotels and restaurants as well as in ordinary households.
It is widely used in bowls, stews, pot dishes, sushi ingredients, tsukudani, etc.

However, usually fresh shiitake mushrooms or dried shiitake mushrooms are rehydrated before use, but apart from when they are chopped into small pieces and used whole, shiitake mushrooms are used whole in dishes. The surface of an umbrella is bulky, so when boiling food, etc., the surface is black, it occupies a large amount (bulk) inside the container or tableware, and it is not interesting at all, but it is also black and visually unappealing. It doesn't give a good impression, and it's not very popular due to its taste and shape.

Therefore, with the aim of expanding the usage of shiitake mushrooms, the present inventor focused on the large cap that is unique to shiitake mushrooms, and by processing this, succeeded in changing the conventional impression.

In other words, the processed shiitake mushroom product of the present invention has a substantially flat cut portion on the surface of the shiitake cap,
It is characterized by having letters, designs, etc. engraved on the cut portion.

The details of the present invention will be explained below.

The shiitake mushrooms used as raw materials for the processed shiitake products of this invention are the most desirable from the viewpoint of processing and taste immediately after harvesting, but they also have a well-shaped cap and are elastic enough to not be broken by surface cutting or carving. Semi-dried shiitake mushrooms may be used as long as they have the following properties. In this case, it is best to avoid using completely dried shiitake mushrooms, as their shape and composition have changed significantly compared to fresh shiitake mushrooms, and their elasticity is poor, making cutting and engraving difficult. When using fresh shiitake mushrooms, it is best to use them immediately after harvesting, and it is best to cut the caps immediately and then wash them with water.

The cutting and burning of the surface of the mushroom cap may be carried out, for example, by manually cutting the black part of the cap surface with a kitchen knife or a knife, and then burning the cut part (white part) by applying a previously prepared electric iron or branding iron, or a similar process may be carried out using other machines and tools.

Therefore, when boiling raw shiitake mushrooms that have been processed and shaped in this way, for example, when seasoning them and boiling them, the boiling containers used in regular pots and pots will cause the steam to escape into the air, causing the inside of the shiitake mushrooms to boil. Since the aromatic components of the coffee also escape, the siphon of the coffee
Using a boiling vessel, such as a whiskey distiller, that has a structure in which the steam generated during boiling can be cooled and returned to water droplets (the steam can be repeatedly collected or refluxed), the steam generated can be distilled into a seasoning liquid. It is best to do this while repeatedly returning to the inside.

In addition, the shiitake mushrooms seasoned and processed in this manner have excellent taste, aroma, and shape, and are also manufactured as processed shiitake products with various characters, designs, etc. engraved on the surface of the cap.

The processed shiitake mushroom products of the present invention are not limited to those boiled in a seasoning liquid as mentioned above, but can also be used, for example, by steaming or
This includes all shiitake mushrooms that have been roasted or otherwise processed, as long as characters, designs, etc. are engraved on the cut portion of the cap's surface.

Furthermore, there is no distinction made by the size, shape, etc. of the cut surface and the engraving, which falls under this category.

Next, an example of the shiitake mushroom processed product of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 is the cap surface of the shiitake mushroom processed product A of the present invention, and 2 is a white background portion formed by cutting along the substantially flat surface of the cap surface 1. 3 is the characters ``Koboshi'' and ``Holiday'' engraved on the white background part 2 with a hot iron.
4 is the root of the shiitake mushroom.

As described above, the shiitake mushroom product of the present invention is obtained by cutting the black/brown part of the cap surface of a fresh shiitake mushroom, and stamping letters, designs, etc. on the cut white part with a baking iron or the like. Therefore, those that have been boiled, steamed, baked, etc. to retain their aroma as much as possible have a better taste, aroma, and shape.In addition, the black, unsightly parts of the umbrella surface have been removed. There are also various branding marks attached to this part.
For example, arranging 3 boiled shiitake mushrooms engraved with the words ``bamboo'' and ``plum'', or at a wedding reception, making a soup with 2 shiitake mushrooms engraved with the names of the bride and groom placed side by side. For New Year's, you can engrave a picture of ``Kotobuki'' or Eto of the year.
Since it can be used in a variety of ways, it can also be used as a food additive for auspicious occasions and occasions.
