Muko City Bamboo Shoot Sweets
These are adorable sweets unique to Muko City, shaped like bamboo shoots. They are filled with the playful spirit of the region, featuring items such as monaka and cookies. The Otokuni region, which includes Muko City, is a major production area for bamboo shoots, with traditions suggesting it was one of the first places in Japan where Moso bamboo was planted. Using the Kyoto-style softening cultivation method passed down for approximately 300 years—which involves carefully layering straw and soil—high-quality bamboo shoots are grown to be tender and free of bitterness. Motivated by the flavors of spring, these sweets are visually cute and perfect for souvenirs. They are a heartwarming treat that allows you to feel the long-standing bamboo culture rooted in the Otokuni region, the home of bamboo shoots.
