The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality and sensory characteristics of Jiangachi produced with king mushrooms. The moisture content of Jiangachi made from king mushrooms was 72.80% for CON, which was highest, while J4 was 64.46%, which was lowest. In color value results, CON showed the highest L value of 72.80 and J4 showed the lowest value of 31.71. However, the amount of a and b value showed the reverse results. CON showed the lowest sugar content and salinity, whereas J4 showed the highest among the two of them. For PH result, CON and J1 showed the lowest value while J4 showed the highest value of 3.87. According to the results of QDA, J4 showed the strongest brown color intensity, soy sauce flavor, salty taste, and CON showed the weakest of them. CON showed the strongest sweet flavor and sweet taste, whereas J4 showed the weakest. According to the result of acceptance test, CON showed the lowest scent, and for appearance, taste, texture, and overall quality, J3 that contains 25% of soy sauce showed the best results. In conclusion, Jiangachi made with king mushrooms got a high preference when added with soy sauce, and the preference has increased with 25% of soy sauce.
