Japanese Food Tips

Bamboo shoots are used in Japanese and Chinese dishes. Raw bamboo shoots are distributed on the market from spring to summer. I heard that in most countries bamboo shoots are rarely sold. Most people may have seen it for the first time by looking at these pictures here. Bamboo shoots take considerable time to prepare. For Japanese food, it is used in bamboo shoot-seasoned rice, simmered dishes, tempura, etc. In Japanese supermarkets, it is sold raw and also pre-boiled (in cans or plastic bags).　Because we have posted the recipes for preparing raw bamboo shoots and for bamboo-shoot seasoned rice, please check them out on our website.
