Gourmet Forest Cuisine Gift Set

1. Brand Story & Design Philosophy

DASHANHE Hexagonal Gourmet Mushroom Box – Where Nature Meets Artistry
Born from China’s ancient forestry traditions, DASHANHE reimagines wild mushroom craftsmanship through a contemporary lens. The iconic hexagonal design symbolizes harmony between nature’s geometry and human creativity, featuring a minimalist bamboo exterior adorned with hand-carved forest motifs. Crafted from 100% recyclable birchwood, each box is a eco-conscious tribute to the mountains that inspire it. Inside, six segmented compartments showcase a curated selection of rare fungi and tonic ingredients, reflecting our philosophy: **"Six Senses, One Journey"** – a multisensory experience that connects diners to the forests’ soul.

2. Product Highlights & Ingredient Details

Culinary Treasures from the Himalayas & Beyond
This limited-edition box celebrates biodiversity with six premium ingredients, each hand-picked by expert foragers:

• Golden Morels (Morchella esculenta): Sunlit crowns with honeyed aroma, harvested at dawn in Sichuan’s misty bamboo groves.

• Alpine Matsutake (Matsutake): Iconic "pine mushroom" with spicy-sweet notes, wild-grown at 3,000m elevation in Yunnan.

• Velvet Shank (Cordyceps militaris): Exquisite caterpillar fungus fused with medicinal black fungus, traditionally used in Tibetan herbal remedies.

• Silk Tremella (Tremella fuciformis): Cloud-like gelatinous clusters, simmered in pear juice for natural sweetness.

• Forest Shiitake (Lentinula edodes): Organic logs cultivated under oak trees, bursting with umami depth.

• Himalayan Jujube: Dried gray枣 from Kashmir, sweetened by mountain springs and sun-kissed at high altitudes.

Each ingredient is paired with a poetic card detailing its origin, harvest method, and culinary suggestions. The box includes a reusable silicone lid and a recipe booklet featuring dishes like Matsutake Risotto and Shiitake-Stuffed Buns, bridging tradition and modern gastronomy.
