A contemporary world of flavors inspired by the wild appears 

Myconest approaches the gastronomic use of forest mushrooms in a novel way, combining a close-to-nature approach with professional knowledge. Their family business is built on the world of forests, and their work is based on biological, horticultural and culinary experience. They create dishes that bring the atmosphere of the wilderness to the kitchen, while being simple and versatile, reinterpreting the possibilities inherent in mushrooms through unusual flavors and textures. Their prepared meal bases allow for quick and easy cooking, while the finished dish retains its character thanks to the collaboration of mushrooms, herbs, and delicately proportioned special ingredients.

Specialty quality introduced in a new, encapsulated form 

Samurai Shoelace makes specialty quality available in capsule form. The team opened their first specialty coffee shop in Budapest in 2016, which quickly became a defining point in the domestic coffee community, and in 2017 they also won the Hungarian barista and filter champion titles. Since then, they have been working with coffee every day: learning, tasting and experimenting to bring the best flavors out of the ingredients. The idea was born during the pandemic to bring the cafe experience to guests, which is how the capsule product line was created.
