This is a recreation of a dish I ate at Chaya, a Japanese restaurant in Pittsburgh, PA. Its preparation and ingredients are utterly simple, but its flavor is complex and multilayered. It's great as a side dish, but it would also make a fabulous sauce for a steak or a piece of meaty fish. Bunashimeji mushrooms—also known as beach mushrooms—can be found in Japanese markets and some well stocked supermarkets.
