I've only seen takenoko like that in Harvest Moon :)

Yet another Pam

I was lucky enough to find fresh takenoko in my local markets, but it's not easy to find out how to prepare them. I ended up with completely peeling and slicing them, and simmering for an hour. They smell wonderful and came out nice and crunchy. I haven't quite figured how to slice them as pretty as you did. Next year!

AMY;
WHAT A WONDERFUL DINNER!!!! THANKS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PREPARING BAMBOO SHOOTS...I SAW SOME AT THE MARKET LAST WEEK!!!

Thanks for the potato and new onions recipe. I tried it last night after picking the ingredients up at the local farmer's market and it was so delicious! And I'm sure the leftovers will be just as good.

Also, I've been lurking for a bit and haven't said "hi" -- just want to thank you for all the cooking stories and recipes. I love Japanese cuisine (and not just sushi) but it's hard to find more reasonable "home cooking" recipes and your blog fills that gap wonderfully. Of course, I can't always get the ingredients but what I can do always makes a nice change from the usual. So, thanks a lot!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful meal! No bamboo shoots easily available here in NYC but the onions and potatoes recipe looks delicoius. Can't wait to try it!

I just love your homecooking recipes! The pictures and descriptions are always very inspiring. I'll surely try out the patatoes soon!
Thanks for sharing!

wow! that looks sooooo good! A girl I'm interested in is a vegetarian, and I've been cooking for her to impress her. I've been running out of ideas, and I'm glad I got an inspiration (takenoko) from your blog. will come by more often! good day!

Your takenoko looks so green compared to the one I got from a road-side grocer. It took forever to cook in the tea kettle. It was very fragrant and tasty, but like you say, they don't survive long even refrigerated. I put them in a stir-fry, but I'll try your sake and soyu version next time.

I'm back from Japan 3.5 weeks and already miss it terribly. Your blog is a lifeline! Thanks for these lovely photos and narratives. I enjoyed seeing live takenoko in the bamboo garden at Tenryu-ji in Kyoto. As I'm not much of a cook, I prefer to look at your artful creations and imagine how tasty they must be! All best to you as summer progresses, bringing with it Japan's notorious heat and humidity and accompanying cooling foods and beverages.

I followed you from MJ's blog, I had no idea there was another fabulous foodie girl in Japan!!!! The dishes look DELISH, fabulous photos as well!!!!
