I think I will write a review in my blog or elsewhere.<br /><br />Unfortunately, there is no culinary or medicinal information about the plant (tsurumasaki in Japanese) in any of the sites I've checked, like these:<br />http://healing.itp.ne.jp/flower_gardening/botanical/flower/detail.php?N-f/masaki0.htm<br />http://www.fri.hro.or.jp/rcard/087turumasaki.htm<br />I think the plant is for ornamental purposes only.<br /><br />As for your next question, I am sorry that I'm not knowledgeable about these things. I hope someone who is familiar with Blogger features offers a good answer.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-6135883522016553762012-06-20T21:43:46.715+09:002012-06-20T21:43:46.715+09:00Hiroyuki-san, I forgot to ask you.

Hope you received Foraged Flavor. <br />I have a question from someone in the US that has a lot of euonymous fortunei.<br />(Latin name I dont know the Japanese one.) It comes from Japan and is sometimes called winter creeper in English. They want to know if there is any culinary or medicinal tradition to use this in Japan.<br />very best wishes!<br />Tamatamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048414573716183606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-45532420502405556762012-05-29T07:29:01.146+09:002012-05-29T07:29:01.146+09:00tama: Thank you for reminding me.

It's a very common procedure. Cut off the upper part diagonally, make a shallow, vertical cut, and then put in a pot of water with rice bran. Simmer for 40-60 minutes, and let cool.<br /><br />A very fresh bamboo shoot does not require this step ("aku nuki" harshness removal), and can be eaten raw, much in the same way as sashimi.<br /><br />Nemagari take, which I posted about recently, do not require aku nuki because they do not contain much aku. They are simply grilled or cooked in other ways.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-84043041614963738742012-05-29T02:57:10.725+09:002012-05-29T02:57:10.725+09:00Hiroyuki-san, our book is almost ready for its bir...Hiroyuki-san, our book is almost ready for its birthday!!
