Shiitake is a gruff yet masterful chef and the number one food critic. He was [[Chef Kawasaki (anime)|Chef Kawasaki]]'s teacher, though Shiitake ultimately failed to hone his student's cooking skills. He can be considered quite harsh in his mannerisms, as he does not hesitate to insult poor food quality or service, and berates anyone who shows a lack of skill in cooking. This attitude leads him to forcefully close [[Kawasaki's]] when its chef does not perform to his satisfaction. Despite this exterior, Chef Shiitake only truly cares about the culinary arts, and is not afraid to sacrifice his reputation if it means helping his students become better chefs.

One aspect of Shiitake that helps Chef Kawasaki determine the faker in [[The Big Taste Test]] is that while he may criticize prepared food, he will never insult the tools he uses or passes on to his students.
