Ouma Bamboo Shoots
The highest grade, known as 'Shirako' (white sperm), is so exquisite it can even be eaten as sashimi. These are the premium Ouma bamboo shoots that Kitakyushu is proud of. The Ouma district in Kokura Minami Ward boasts one of Japan's largest bamboo forest areas, and the unique red clay soil of this land nurtures tender bamboo shoots. Because the red soil limits light penetration, it prevents hardening underground, resulting in low bitterness and a fine-grained texture. Top-tier restaurants in Kyoto and Osaka specifically request them, and they are traded at the highest prices in the Kansai market. A luxurious seasonal delicacy available only for a brief period in spring. Please enjoy the rich aroma of freshly harvested shoots and their surprisingly tender texture that yields easily to the bite.
