Everything is done carefully by hand, one by one.
By handling everything from bamboo forest maintenance and felling to menma development and manufacturing consistently, we are attempting to make effective use of bamboo.
There are many ways to enjoy menma.
Please cook this boiled menma to your preferred taste and enjoy it with ramen, as a side dish for rice, or as a snack with beer.
Your bite helps save abandoned bamboo forests.
In recent years, abandoned bamboo forests have become a problem in various parts of Japan.
Moso bamboo, an introduced species, was brought to Japan for bamboo shoot cultivation and use as building material.
Due to reasons such as increased import of bamboo shoots, decreased demand for domestic bamboo materials used in construction, and a decrease in bamboo forest managers due to aging populations, the number of unmaintained and abandoned bamboo forests is increasing.
Abandoned bamboo forests grow at an astonishing rate, hindering the growth of plants other than bamboo and affecting the ecological balance. Furthermore, their shallow root systems can cause landslides, leading to numerous environmental problems.
By enjoying this Itoshima menma, you are taking a step towards improving the abandoned bamboo forest problem and conserving the environment.
