Takenoko with Joi Ito

Good stuff from Boing Boing Tv, with Joi Ito (plus wikipedia entry) cooking young bamboo shoots. Music by Ryuichi Sakamoto (plus wikipedia entry).

"...In this video, Ito welcomes us into his back yard in Japan, where he and his partner Mizuka teach us how to hunt for and prepare this traditional seasonal delicacy from a lush bamboo forest..."
