Cold Shiitake Potage Soup | SHIITAKE RECIPE

Cold Shiitake Potage Soup

Add drops of fresh cream on top to make it look really fancy! It will look like a dish served at a restaurant! As the Umami taste of dried Shiitake is derived from Guanylate, a nuclei acid-based Umami component, it may taste bitter when the Dashi broth is too thick. This cold soup tastes delicious, but leaving it in the refrigerator for too long will increase the possibility of it tasting bitter. When that happens, all you need to do is dilute the soup.
