Tricholoma matsutake (マツタケ)

The most expensive food in the world . One hundred grams of good quality matsutake costs 10,000 yen which is almost equal to 100 US dollars. For beginners it is also very rare to find T. matsutake around Tokyo today. During matsutake season, entrance to Mount Mastutake (the matsutake habitat) is prohibited by the owner of the area.
Find it under "Tastes Good" at the bottom of the side bar
