The amazing maitake (otherwise known as hen-of-the-woods) mushroom sometimes grows to be over 50 pounds. It is indigenous to Japan, and is highly regarded for its immune-boosting effects.
This mushroom also happens to be so tasty that Kasuza Japanese Restaurant (Note: renamed Tatany 72 as of mid-2005) has decided to feature a special "Maitake Dinner." The dinner consists of a tempura-battered maitake, a rice and maitake dish, miso soup, a daily side dish, and Japanese pickles.
Tatany 72: 1400 2nd Ave., (212) 472-1700.
