Boing Boing tv passes the 150th episode mark today, and we're celebrating by cooking up some delicious takenoko (竹の子), young bamboo shoots, with Joi Ito -- and original music by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
You may know Joi as a serial entrepreneur, a twittering globetrotter VC, a World of Warcraft junkie, or the CEO of Creative Commons, but he has a more traditional side, too.
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.
The episode is accompanied by an original score composed by Grammy, Academy Award, and Golden Globe-winning composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto.

i just noticed a bamboo shot behind my home and i dug it out! i dont know wat to do with it.. now that some one tells me it has cyanide! i am confused!! : (
raw bamboo has cyanide... better cook it to leach out the toxin! i'm still waiting for my "betong" (an edible variety of bamboo) to reach maturity so that we can harvest it.....
Thank you for this posting. I've always wondered how bamboo shoots are prepared. Now I know. I have a 22 year old grove of Moso in my yard. Finally I'm getting some big shoots.
