Fresh bamboo shoots are heavily heavy and firm, and the skin has a velvety luster. If you buy it at the store, wash it with the skin on it, boil it with rice bran and pepper, and remove the bottle. Note that if you remove the accelerator too much, the umami will escape together. As a cooking method, wakatake boiled and bamboo shoot rice are common, but recently it is often used for stir-fry and sauteed. In Kagawa, we often eat lightly cooked bamboo shoots with tempura. There is also a way of eating "bamboo shoot sashimi", where freshly cut ears are sliced raw and soy sauce is applied.
Mr. Hisashi Onishi, Chairman of the Takatake Bamboo Shoot Division
There are two ways to distinguish delicious bamboo shoots: the base color of the bamboo shoots and the size of the red shoots. It seems better to choose one with a whiter root and fine reddish red buds. Speaking of recommended dishes using bamboo shoots, bamboo shoot tempura. Bamboo shoot tempura is a popular local dish in Kagawa prefecture. The savory aroma of sweetly boiled bamboo shoots and the savory aroma of fried tempura can be said to be a classic spring taste.
