All eatable plants that grow outward from the root have different flavors along the plant. New growth (closer to the root) is traditionally more sweet than old growth on the bud end. So I am guessing he is cutting off the old growth because it might be more bitter to have too much flavor? I am just using my knowledge asparagus as a basis of comparison. Peeled root end of asparagus is much more sweet than the bud end that most people tend to covet.
Don't use this method for Mao (Moso) bamboo shoot.

Itasan, why are you cutting off things that can be eaten? The tip is ok.

Yeah, I thought he was cutting off the tip too liberally as well.
Mind you, these fresh bamboo shoots aren't that cheap to buy.
Whenever my mom would buy and cook these bamboo shoots when I was growing up in Japan, I knew it was around my dad's pay day!! ; D
