If catching a flight to Kansai is a bit too expensive to enjoy matsutake dobin, there is always Hiroshi’s in the Pearl district of Portland, OR. We were there about a month ago and were surprised to find the dobin on the menu. Then again, we should have known better since Hiro-san offers the best sushi available in Oregon. It may not have been matsutake from Japan, but it was still delicious and confirmed fall was indeed here.

I hunt matsutakes myself. It’s thrilling to find a one, a group, or even a whole crowd of them in the forest; Washington state (USA) that is. I sell them too, but the problem is that when I find a lot of them the price is down because there are so many in the woods, and when I can’t find them the price is up because they are hard to find!

Thanks for the explanation about the shop and telling what one is to do with matsutake. I’ve passed it a couple times and always been intrigued, but intimidated. Now I’ll probably give it a shot.

Beautiful fungus!

we had some matsutake dobin mushi last year at our favorite sushi-ya…it was so delicious, and, dare I say, sublime.

So, even in America, the matsutake are wild-harvested, not farmed?
