Mushroom and Brown Rice Pasta (森の子たちパスタ)
Producer: Tamayaseimen
Prefecture: Yamagata
Ingredients: Durum wheat semolina (domestic), brown rice flour (brown rice (Yamagata)), mushroom powder (mushrooms (shiitake, mushroom (white button mushroom), yamabushiitake (lion’s mane) (Yamagata))
Vegan, Dairy-free, Soy-free
Suggested uses: This delicious pasta takes ~5 mins to boil before reaching the perfect chewy texture. We recommend using it in soups, as the mushroom powders in the pasta dissolve into the broth like a dashi and boost the overall flavor. It can also be used in your favorite pasta dishes or on salads.

Part of Tamayaseimen’s creative art pasta line, this whimsical pasta was made by Italian craftsmen and combines umami-rich mushrooms with chewy brown rice. Developed in partnership with the Professional Mushrooms Yamagata group, which cultivates a wide variety of mushrooms in the northern Mogami region of Yamagata, this pasta contains three different kinds of mushrooms. Shiitake provide a rich, smokey flavor while white button mushrooms add a mild earthiness. Yamabushiitake, called lion’s mane in English, is somewhat rare and is said to lend a subtle sweetness that some say is reminiscent of crab meat. 

Situated at the foot of Mt. Gassan in Yamagata in Nishikawa Town, Tamayaseimen is a generations-old noodle manufacturing company that was established in 1949 and is approaching its 75th anniversary. They produce traditional noodles as well as new, imaginative products, such as this mushroom“art” pasta.
