Marinated Matsutake Mushrooms

A rare and unforgettable taste of the wild West Coast forest.

Bring the quiet mystery of the forest floor to your table with our Marinated Matsutake Mushrooms. Celebrated worldwide for their rarity, highly prized wild pine mushrooms are hand-foraged on Vancouver Island during a fleeting autumn harvest window. Marinated in a premium Japanese-style brine with organic ginger, garlic, and maple syrup, they carry a complex, robust umami depth and a distinctive pine-like aroma that effortlessly elevates simple dishes into extraordinary culinary experiences. It is a true luxury staple for food lovers and a deeply special addition to a curated local gift box.

Why It’s a Fat Squirrel Favourite:

• Rare & Hand-Foraged: Wild-harvested from the base of Island pine and fir trees, embodying a deep reverence for the land.
• Complex Umami Depth: Marinated in a sophisticated blend of seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and organic ginger.
• Gourmet Forest Magic: A highly treasured delicacy that brings an authentic, traditional twist to modern West Coast dining.

How to Use It:

The Perfect Finish: Enjoy them as a savoury appetizer straight from the jar, or add them to steamed or fried rice for a fragrant, earthy accent. Slice them into noodle soups and hotpots for layered depth, pair with sushi or sashimi, or use them to complement grilled wild fish and autumn vegetables.
