ABOUT
The Nameko is known for it's glutinous, slimy veil, which coats the surface of the cap. Despite the unappealing slime, it is a superior gourmet mushroom and is one of the most popular cultivated mushrooms in Japan. It has an excellent flavor and texture. The slime soon disappears upon cooking and is undetectable when the mushrooms are served. It has a pleasantly satisfying taste when lightly cooked. And a strong nutty flavour when cooked thoroughly. Once the glutinous slime is cooked away, the mushroom becomes very appetizing.
