Spring special! Enjoy unearthing and eating Kyoto bamboo shoots with a master farmer

In the renowned Kyoto bamboo shoot region of Oharano in Nishikyo Ward, a bamboo shoot farmer who manages the bamboo groves will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of everything from the ecology to the cultural significance of bamboo shoots. Participants will get to experience harvesting using a unique hoe specific to this region, and enjoy dishes prepared with the fresh bamboo shoots they have harvested themselves (four dishes typically eaten by the farmers will be served, along with drinks such as sake). While your bamboo sprouts are simmering, you will join in a bamboo chopstick-making activity at Shop & Gallery Chikubuen (matcha and snacks included). During your meal, you will use the bamboo chopsticks you make, along with bamboo tableware and cups crafted by the producer just before the meal, enjoying the food amidst the scenic bamboo grove. This is a bamboo-themed tour that allows you to fully experience the culture of Kyoto bamboo shoots. You'll be guided by a team of producers who are passionately committed to cultivating the highest quality bamboo shoots and an interpreter guide deeply rooted in and knowledgeable about the local area.
