This is May in Japan.
Today I'd like to introduce one of seasonal foods.
This is the seasonal vegetable now, "Takenoko."
Takenoko means bamboo shoots.
These bamboo shoots were harvested by my parents the other day.
This is one of kinds of bamboo shoots, the black bamboo.
We call the black bamboo, "Hachiku."
Hachiku is in season between March and May.
It has little lye.
Hachiku is soft and delicious.
Next time, I'll introduce a Japanese dish using Hachiku.
