Shogun Maitake, ON, Canada

In 2015, a new chapter for Maitake mushrooms began in London, Ontario with the arrival of        Yoshinobu Odaira, the visionary founder of Yukiguni Maitake in Japan and a pioneer in large-scale Maitake cultivation. Driven by a passion to share the rare and highly prized Black Maitake with North America, Odaira brought his proprietary growing methods, designed to replicate the mushroom’s natural environment, and thus established Shogun Maitake Canada.

From the beginning, Shogun Maitake Canada has been dedicated to providing healthconscious consumers and culinary professionals with premium fresh Black Maitake mushrooms and Black Maitake extracts. The company is built on a foundation of excellence, not only in product quality, but also in its commitment to scientific research and sustainable growing practices. With decades of expertise, Odaira continues to lead the production of mushrooms that are both nutritionally rich and responsibly cultivated.

Today, Shogun Maitake Canada remains rooted in its core values of quality, innovation, and deep respect for the natural power of Black Maitake. The company carefully oversees every stage of cultivation, partnering with leading universities to explore the mushroom’s therapeutic potential, including its anti-cancer properties. Through controlled, state-ofthe-art facilities and ongoing research, Shogun Maitake is proud to offer mushrooms of exceptional quality and play a leading role in advancing knowledge and appreciation of the Black Maitake in North America.
