Isn't that spelled "shiitake"?

- Delk 7y agoIt has also become a loan word in English, so there's at least a de facto convention of how it is spelled with latin characters in English text. It's not written in kanji when used in English.
- thrwyoilarticle 7y agoA loan word with two different spellings!
