New Autumn Delights: A Unique Collaboration

In an exciting new collaboration, Misuzu Life, renowned for its cut bunashimeji mushrooms, has partnered with North European variety store Flying Tiger Copenhagen. This joint effort aims to celebrate the beauty and versatility of mushrooms in autumn cuisine through various delightful recipes and mushroom-themed merchandise. The products and recipes will be featured in Flying Tiger stores and its website starting August 22, 2025.

A Cross-Cultural Collaboration

Both brands come from distinctly different backgrounds, but their love for mushrooms has brought them together. Flying Tiger Copenhagen aims to enhance seasonal enjoyment with mushroom-themed goods, while Misuzu Life seeks to showcase the professional expertise in cut bunashimeji mushrooms. This collaboration will introduce a range of flavorful recipes that highlight the potential of bunashimeji in everyday meals.

Culinary Creations

The collaboration will see the launch of a curated recipe collection, utilizing the cut bunashimeji mushrooms from Misuzu Life. The recipes have been thoughtfully crafted by Yuka, a party food planner and a member of Flying Tiger's Familiere (ambassador program). The table setting for these creations is designed under the supervision of birthday planner Nao, also a Familiere. Here are a few featured recipes:

1. Bunashi Queen and Sardine Aqua Pazza
