Seto no takenoko (bamboo shoot)

Its main cultivation area is Nakatsugawa City. It was brought to this area about 270 years ago when a daughter of Shimazu Family (originally from Kyushu) brought with her a bamboo tree as she came over to marry into Naegi Domain based in Gifu area. The tree was planted on the side of Kiso River by the head of Seto Village at that time. The tree bred extensively due to the favorable condition of abundant sunlight and fertile red soil. The high quality bamboo shoots are cultivated in a climate conducive to fog formation and with a meticulous care given.
