We do eat them in Japan in the country side. I was always told that it cleanses the liver after heavy winter meals. Wasn't a fan since I was a child. It's usually only eaten for a short period. We had them blanched and served as a side dish. Sometimes served with a brothy sauce over it. There's many bitter shoots we ate in the spring and they all had a purpose as tonifying herbs. I didn't know we had them in the states. I'll have to look for some next spring.

I grew up in Korea, and we used to grow these in our property. It’s called Du Rup. Wild Du rup like this is considered very delicacy, and it’s pricy for its rarity and its nutritional, medicinal value. Koreans blanch it like asparagus and dip it in sweet chilly sauce, Go Chu Jang, mixed with apple cider vinegar. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this here in the PNW region.

I grow the devil's walking stick as an understory plant on my property. I found out about it 2 decades ago from a Korean woman living nextdoor. She told me that they sell it in the Spring in Korean food stores and it can be relatively expensive because it has a very short harvest time. I have yet to eat it, but it is one of my "food forest" plants for when SHTF! This video has encouraged me to try it. This plant can be cut back in summer to encourage new growth for a second harvest, and cause the plant to produce multiple limbs. It requires NO SPECIAL CARE and can be a little invasive (but who cares when it is an edible?)! The one thing I love about your videos is there is very little opinion or time wasting blabbering. You tell what the subject is, all about it, how to utilize it, and your done. Too many videos waste most of the time with worthless information or misinformation - mainly because the people don't have a clue about their subject other than the one or two seasons they have been growing it.

Yes, this is harvested every spring in Japan and sold as a very valuable and quite a bit pricy wild delicacy. It is well known for its use tempura in addition to fukinotou, another valued spring sprout. This tree seems to have been imported to the U.S. so some may even find these tree shoots in their area! Make sure to not harvest the shoots after two harvests from the same tree, as it may damage its ability to grow healthily during the year. Happy foraging!

My wife is Japanese and we are fortunate to have tons of these in our backyard here in the Philadelphia suburbs. They taste like a mix of Broccoli and asparagus. Please don't tempura fry them as you miss the real flavor that way. Pan fry them with a little olive oil, and season with whatever you prefer. The shoots you show are a bit late. We harvest late March to Early April. And I have never seen the pink flowers at all. I don't know what that is. There is no fruit with Tara no ki. Just sprouts.

Not sure about the Japanese Angelica, But here in Washington and Oregon state we have some mighty Devils Club that are very similar looking in some ways. They grow in long single, fairly bare branches covers in long nasty spikes. I thought you were talking about the same plant at first but after doing a little research I found that they are not the same plant. Family being (Araliaceae). Genus: Japanese Angelica ( Aralia elata) and the Devils club (Oplopanax horridius). There are many medicinal uses of the Devil's Club, so I would assume the same goes for the Japanese Angelica. Great little trees, but they hurt like hell when you are hiking, and you reach up to get a hand hold to pull yourself up the hill. Sometimes not being able to just let go.

Forest foraging is a typical weekend chore for Japanese youth in the countrysides. I am pretty sure that seasonal forest foraging is a popular activity all over the world. “Taranbo” (=Tarano ki’s shoots), we call them is a typical “Sansai” (= mountain greens). Other mountain greens are a bit complicated to process, but we need them for a couple of the most important dishes on New Year’s Day. (Yes, we have to pickled them to last 7-8 months).
