Matsutake Gohan is a very simple rice dish to enjoy the flavor of Matsutake mushrooms!

Matsutake is also called pine mushroom. It is usually found at the foot of pine tree, very expensive mushroom because of its rarity. Price varies depending on the area of production.

Recently, my mom said worm-eaten ones sold at discounted prices are really good and affordable, so I tried them out. Yes! They are truly great. They are worth to try!!!

BTW, I usually get Matsutake at Takashimaya (高島屋) department store in Futakotamagawa (二子玉川) 😉

I cooked the Matsutake in the rice cooker, but you can also grill it then mix in the cooked rice later. It is up to you~
