■ Summary
Nagaokakyo City is famous for bamboo shoots!
The history of bamboo shoots and Kyoto are deeply connected. It is said that the first place in Japan where bamboo shoots were grown in the 1700s was Jakushoin Temple in Nagaokakyo City.
Nagaokakyo City's bamboo shoots are said to be characterized by their soft, fine-textured flesh with little acridity, making them easy to eat.
Bamboo shoots are popular nationwide for their soft texture, beautiful appearance, and delicious taste.
The reason why Nagaokakyo City is able to harvest delicious bamboo shoots is because it uses the Kyoto-style softening cultivation method that began in the Meiji era.
This Kyoto-style softening cultivation method involves stopping the tips of the parent bamboos, spreading straw, grass, and soil.
After the harvest is over in May, the tops of the bamboos are cut and fertilized for sunlight, and another fertilizer is applied in August.
From September, rice straw is spread on the ground to prevent the soil temperature from dropping and to maintain moisture.
From October, more soil insertion work will be done. The flow is roughly as follows.
Select parent bamboos in late March~April.
Apply fertilizer in early May and stop the tips of the parent bamboos.
Weeding and mowing around June.
Thinning and fertilizing around September
Straw and grass bedding in mid-October.
Fertilize and add soil around December.
Waiting for bamboo shoots to grow around January.
Nagaokakyo has many bamboo groves, acidic clay, good drainage and sunlight, making it ideal for bamboo shoot growth.
However, this is only a rough sketch of the process, and this is not all there is to a year of bamboo shoots.
Nagaokakyo's bamboo shoots are produced throughout the year with the highest quality and taste with a lot of time and effort.
Harvesting begins in late March and ends in early May, with the peak season in mid-April.
Bamboo shoots begin to taste bitter as soon as they are dug up, so morning digging is the most common method, starting as early as 5:00 a.m.
Thus, Nagaokakyo City's bamboo shoots grow deliciously because of the time and effort that goes into their cultivation over the course of a year.
Nagaokakyo,Bamboo shoot restaurant
So, which restaurants in Kyoto offer the best bamboo shoots?
Let's look at some of them.
○○○○ life
It has been covered in the media and is a hot topic."Ouiju."is a famous restaurant located in Nagaoka Tenjin and has been in business for over 70 years.
Kyoto-style kaiseki and sushi, beautifully decorated with the colors of the four seasons in elegant dishes, are popular regardless of the season, and the Kyoto-style sushi is especially delicious, with both the fish and the rice outstandingly delicious.
In spring, you can enjoy ingredients nurtured in the rich local soil in dishes such as "bamboo shoots kaiseki," which uses all the Kyoto bamboo shoots produced in Nagaokakyo City, and "sushi with bamboo shoots in a figure sushi".
Uozu has a delicious bamboo shoot dish.
Locally grown bamboo shoots, known as "Rakusai bamboo shoots," are soft and crispy without being greasy.
At Uozu, "Sushi with Bamboo Shoots" has become especially popular. This lovely sushi, which retains the shape of the bamboo shoots, is an original dish with a crisp and crunchy texture. The hollowed-out bamboo shoots are filled with sushi rice, and the bamboo shoots are chopped and added to the rice to increase texture and flavor.
The "bamboo shoot sushi" is made from water-boiled bamboo shoots so that it can be enjoyed all year round.
You will also enjoy other seasonal bamboo shoots such as saikyo zuke (pickled bamboo shoots), tempura, and even sweets. Be sure to try the bamboo shoot steak and bamboo shoots grilled with sansho, even the fresh aroma.
Review of Uozu
There is also table seating for a relaxing meal. This time, we had the daily lunch set and bamboo shoot sushi as a souvenir. The menu consisted of nine dishes including sweet dishes, rice, aka-dashi soup, and pickles. The red miso soup was a little sweet and contained wakame seaweed and clams. It was good to enjoy a variety of dishes. The pickles were yam, mibuna, and bamboo shoots. I enjoyed them with rice.
We had lunch at Uozu, which was located near Otokuni-ji Temple. There were many dishes on the menu and a fresh fish tank, so we had a hard time deciding what to order. Among them, I had the "one-plate lunch" for 1,500 yen, which seemed to offer a variety of food. We were checked for our body temperature before entering the restaurant, and the tables were partitioned to prevent corona, so we could eat with peace of mind. The one-plate lunch was delicious, with each dish having a different flavor.
This time, I had the Shokado. It was very elegantly seasoned, varied, and more filling than it looked. The "Bamboo shoot sushi" here is exquisite ‼️, elegant, the bamboo shoots are soft, and the aroma (yuzu) is good. It is very tasty.

■Omake a note: Do you have any tasty recipes using Nagaokakyo bamboo shoots?
While it is nice to enjoy bamboo shoot dishes at a good ryotei restaurant, some people may buy bamboo shoots at a direct sales store on their way home. After buying bamboo shoots, you may wonder how to cook them.
Therefore, we would like to introduce some recommended recipes for arranging them.
Please refer to it and try to make it.
○Bamboo shoot steak
The first recipe we will introduce is an easy and stylish one: bamboo shoot steak.
Prepare two bamboo shoot tops, wood buds and seasonings.
First, cut the bamboo shoots in half lengthwise and make diagonal slits on both sides.
Then, make the sauce by adding 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 tablespoons mirin and 1.5 tablespoons sake to a frying pan or small saucepan.
Place the bamboo shoots on another pan and brown them on both sides. When they are browned, spoon the sauce from the previous step over them and garnish the bowl with the sprouts of the trees.
○Bamboo shoot tsukudani
If you want to make an arranged recipe with bamboo shoots that will last for a long time, I recommend tsukudani, a tsukudani made from bamboo shoots.
It can be made with about 500 g of bamboo shoots, 1/2 cup of sake, and about 2 cups of broth plus seasonings.
First, cut bamboo shoots into chunks about 2 mm thick and boil them.
Then add broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Then add 1/2 cup sake, 5 tablespoons mirin, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons sansho nuts and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring and leaving the broth.
If you have any bamboo shoots left over, save them as tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce). They are perfect for ochazuke (rice marinated in soy sauce) or as a side dish for bento.
simmered bamboo shoots with minced chicken
A recommended warming side dish is "Soboro ni nimono (bamboo shoots simmered in minced chicken broth).
First, cut 300 g of bamboo shoots into bite-sized pieces and return the dried shiitake mushrooms to their original size in water. Keep the rehydrated water and cut the shiitake mushrooms into dice with the shafts cut off.
Put salad oil in a heavy pan and saute leek and ginger over low heat. After a short while, saute ground meat and shiitake mushrooms.
When cooked, add 2 tablespoons sake, bamboo shoots, stock, 1 cup water, and 3 tablespoons soy sauce over medium heat. If any scum comes out at this time, remove it thoroughly for a more delicious result.
grilled bamboo shoots with foil
Just by wrapping and baking, "bamboo shoots baked in foil" becomes an exquisite ryotei-like dish.
First, prepare one small bamboo shoot, cut off the end and cut a slit in the skin.
Then, spread and wrap aluminum foil and bake in a 200°C oven for about 30 minutes.
Tare (sauce) is optional, but sesame sauce or plum sauce goes well with it, so prepare them. After grilling, toss with the sauce to complete the dish.
Bamboo shoot rice
One of the most famous bamboo shoot recipes is "bamboo shoot rice.
Prepare and cut 150 g of bamboo shoots. Wash rice in a colander one hour before cooking and drain. Then, remove the fried tofu from the oil for about 3 minutes and cut it into strips. Add the rice, kelp, bamboo shoots, and fried tofu to a pot and cook.
■ Summary
In this issue, we have introduced the characteristics of bamboo shoots, which come from Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, as well as some restaurants serving bamboo shoot dishes. If you want to enjoy bamboo shoot dishes in season in spring, please visit Nagaokakyo City.
