How to harvest and cook young bamboo shoots or takenoko

Boing Boing tv passes the 150th episode mark today, and we're celebrating by cooking up some delicious takenoko (???), 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.
