Spring in Japan is not only limited to eating sakura-flavored foods. It's also a great time for harvesting and eating takenoko (bamboo shoots). Sakura may be the symbol of spring, but takenoko is known to be the taste of the season. Have you ever tried any bamboo shoots dish? Let's find out more about this incredible vegetable and why it's a springtime staple in Japan. What is takenoko? Takenoko 竹の子, literally meaning the bamboo's child, are the edible young bamboo culms that grow out rapidly from the ground. They consist of fibrous layers tightly bound, overlapping one another, and forming into cylindrical cone-shaped bulbs. The newly sprouted takenoko have a firm and crispy texture. They are at their best around the month of April to May when they are about a foot long in size. Want to know where to buy takenoko for yourself? In large cities and towns, takenoko can be found in supermarkets, vegetable stores, and across country roads. They can be sold either fresh, canned, vacuum-sealed, or cooked in packed meals. Takenokohori タケノコ掘り(bamboo shoots digging): The rite of spring Thinking of another fun experience to do in addition to hanami? Take a day trip to the countryside and join a takenoko digging tour! It's definitely a fun and must-do activity for the whole family and friends in spring. Most of the countryside in Japan is covered in dense and beautiful bamboo forests. You will see these forests between households and open spaces, blending into the mountainous landscape. If you haven't tried your hand at digging bamboo shoots, you can join in takenokohori events for a small fee in some local bamboo farms. Friendly farmers teach you the best digging techniques. With proper attire like gloves, garden boots, and a rental hoe, you're ready to experience an unforgettable spring activity in nature! You can dig up as many as you can, depending on the rules set by the farm. You can bring home either raw, or pre-cooked takenoko, but if you haven’t tried cooking them, it is best to observe the methods of pre-cooking. It’s one of the highlights in takenokohori, where everybody peels and slices the takenoko in groups! In some prefectural cities and towns, they hold a festival in celebration of the takenoko harvest with local foods, games, and performances. However, event schedules may have changed so it's always recommended to check the festival's website before participating. Takenoko preparation To prepare the takenoko for cooking, it is pre-cooked before being used in different dishes. After harvesting, the outer skin is removed, and the bamboo shoots are washed and sliced. Some people prefer to grill and boil them with their skin on. Raw takenoko has a bitter taste, so in order to remove the bitterness, they should be boiled in a mild alkaline solution for a long period of time. The alkaline solution is usually the white, cloudy water from rinsing rice or plain water with a pinch of rice bran. After boiling, the water is cooled down and the bamboo shoots are ready for cooking a new dish. Delicious takenoko dishes to try Did you know that bamboo shoots are high in potassium and low in calories? It's definitely a healthy vegetable and they are commonly found in various Japanese dishes. Takenoko Gohan (Bamboo shoots rice) A popular dish amongst locals during the Edo period, takenoko gohan is still popular today and suitable for vegetarians. Takenoko is added to rice making it more delicious and fragrant. You can customize the dish by adding squid or shiitake mushrooms. Takenoko no nimono (Simmered bamboo shoots) A classic, easy-to-make- side dish where the bamboo shoots are simmered with everyday Japanese condiments such as dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. It is topped with dry bonito flakes giving your plain takenoko a boost of flavor. Grilled bamboo shoots A must-try dish for your barbecue party when you think of calories and nutrition. Grilled takenoko's flavor is enhanced by glazing them with sweet sake, bonito stock, and soy sauce. Takenoko tempura Crunchy and easy to make, takenoko tempura is a great addition to your vegetable tempura platter. Menmaメンマ - Fermented takenoko strips commonly used as toppings for ramen. They are light brown in color with a distinctive flavor. Whatever foods you plan to eat in spring, don't hesitate to add takenoko dishes to your menu.

Dans Takenoko, vous devrez vous occuper de nourrir le Panda de l’Empereur, et un Panda, ça possède un gros appétit! En tant que jardinier, vous devrez donc cultiver des parcelles et les irriguer pour y faire pousser de beaux bambous, tout en surveillant la météo, aussi bien que votre Panda insatiable… n nLe principe du jeu – L’empereur du Japon vient de recevoir un cadeau sympathique mais un peu encombrant de ses amis chinois: un panda géant! Un peu désarçonné, il confie à son jardinier la mission délicate de construire un jardin pour abriter et nourrir le colosse. Pas trop ravi de cette mission, le jardinier quitte le palais de l’empereur en compagnie du panda, et s’atèle à la tâche. n nC’est ainsi que commence Takenoko. Au centre de la table, la première parcelle hexagonale est posée: elle représente le palais de l’empereur entouré d’eau. Sur la parcelle, on pose deux (superbes) figurines: le jardinier et le panda. n nAu cours de la partie, les joueurs vont contribuer au développement du jardin en jouant deux actions par tour de jeu. Ils vont poser des nouvelles parcelles hexagonales et les irriguer pour faire pousser le bambou. Ils déplaceront le jardinier pour activer la pousse des bambous et le panda pour manger les morceaux de bambous fraîchement poussés. n nJusque là, c’est plutôt craquant, non? n nBon, passons aux choses sérieuses, comment les joueurs rivalisent-ils entre eux? Le but du jeu, c’est de réaliser des objectifs secrets. Il y a trois types d’objectifs. Au début de la partie, chaque joueur en reçoit un de chaque, au hasard. Au cours de la partie, chaque joueur peut piocher des objectifs supplémentaires. n nLes types d’objectifs sont: n n Les objectifs « parcelles », où il faut construire un motif particulier de parcelles irriguées. Par exemple, une ligne de 3 parcelles vertes. n Les objectifs « jardinier », où il faut faire pousser des bambous d’une couleur particulière jusqu’à une hauteur particulière. n Les objectifs « panda », où il faut faire manger des combinaisons particulières de couleurs de bambous au panda. n nAu fur et à mesure qu’ils réalisent leurs objectifs, les joueurs les dévoilent. Quand un joueur pose un septième objectif réalisé, il gagne une récompense de 2 points de la part de l’Empereur. Les autres joueurs ont droit à un dernier tour de jeu. Enfin, chacun compte les points des objectifs qu’il a réalisés. Le joueur qui a le plus de points a gagné. n n

The latest game we've been sent to review by Asmodee for the Blogger Board Game Club is Takenoko, a competitive game for 2 to 4 players aged around 8+. Our younger boys are 10 and 11 and very experienced gamers, and we played 4 player with them. The aim of the game is to grow bamboo and feed the pandas. You have to care for the bamboo at different stages of growth, develop irrigation and maintain supply. You're a farmer and an ecologist! Inside the box you have absolutely tons of parts: Rules, 28 Hex Tiles, 90 Plastic Bamboo Sections, 20 Wooden Irrigation Channels, 55 Cards, 4 Individual Player Boards, 8 Wooden Action Tokens, 1 Weather Die, 1 Panda Figurine, 1 Gardener Figurine It's a good sturdy box and the contents are almost entirely wooden or card - with a big plastic insert. It is good for keeping everything safe during storage, but it'll be nice to see it replaced with card. The board is comprised of hexagonal tiles, which is always useful for storage and means it'll never break apart like folded boards can. It is put together during play, as one of the possible actions each turn is to choose 1 from the top 3 tiles from the pile. The miniatures for the Panda and Gardener are incredibly beautiful and well-decorated, and really add another dimension. The Gardener spends the game trying to outpace the panda and grow bamboo more quickly than the panda can eat it. The wooden bamboo parts are actual wooden bamboo - it's gorgeous. There are 3 different colours to correspond with different coloured hexagon board pieces, and some of the challenge cards which you complete to earn points require you to collect exact numbers of coloured bamboo. The weather die is rolled to change the weather at the start of each turn. Different weather conditions have different effects, e.g storms startle the panda, who needs a snack to calm down, rain makes the bamboo grow. Then the player can choose 2 different actions - move the gardener, move the panda, take a challenge card, add a board hexagon or add irrigation. Hexagons can only grow bamboo if they have irrigation or their own water source. The challenge cards all have a points value, and at the end of the game your total is added up to make your score. They require a certain number of bamboo parts collected, a certain size of bamboo plants on the board, or a specific arrangement of the hexagons. Throughout the game you have to be aware of challenges and aim to complete them - without letting on what you are doing to your opponents. We found there was always plenty of bamboo for the panda to eat, and at first we forgot to take more challenge cards, so we were a bit slow to gain points first game! Each game should take around 45 minutes. We spent around 90 minutes on our first game, including pressing out the pieces for play and learning the rules. Once you get started play is intuitive and can be very quick with a nice flow to it, but it takes a couple of rounds before you entirely know what you are doing. The makers have gone to special effort to make this game accessible to people who are colourblind. Both of my boys said they had no trouble distinguishing pieces and the colours of the bamboo were very clear to them. Takenoko is developed by Antione Bauza, made by Bombyx/Matagot and distributed by Asmodee. Available to buy now priced around £28 from all good independent games stockists instore and online, including Amazon (affiliate link below). We were sent our copy of Takenoko for review. Amazon links are affiliate, which earns me a few pence if you buy through my link. It all adds up and helps keep independent game reviews on the blog.
