Hello! I'm a tourist association staff ☆
By the way, the Wild vegetables season in Shinano Town has reached its final stage, and the season of [Bamboo shoot] has begun!
What is "Bamboo shoot"?
Young bamboo of "Chishimazasa". In areas where there is a lot of snow, the roots bend under the weight of the snow when the shoots of Chishimazasa grow, so it is called "Nemagari bamboo", and in Shinano Town, it is called "Bamboo shoot".
In Shinano Town and other areas, it is often eaten as [Bamboo shoot soup].
Bamboo shoot and miso soup with potatoes, etc.
Bamboo shoot soup is essential: canned mackerel (boiled in water)
Canned mackerel in miso soup!? If you don't like it, please give it a try.
I'm surprised at how delicious it is (^^ ♪
You don't need to remove lye, but please remove the hard knots and puff before eating. (It's a poor illustration, but it's written about peeling and dullenization, so please refer to it)
Since it is a blessing of the mountains, the daily harvest and shipment volume are different.
If you find it at a direct sales, please pick it up.
