An Event Combining Sports and Bamboo Shoot Digging – スポーツとたけのこ掘りを組み合わせたイベント
[News Review – April 2024 Issue]
On March 16th, the “3rd Yama-ga Bamboo Shoot Digging Championship” was held in Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture.
3月16日に熊本県山鹿[やまが]市で「第3回山鹿たけのこ掘り選手権」が開催されました。
Bamboo shoots are ingredients that signal the arrival of spring.
たけのこは春を告げる食材です。
Yamaga City is known as a production area for bamboo shoots, but the annual production has decreased due to neglect of bamboo groves and a shortage of successors.
山鹿市はたけのこの生産地として知られていますが、竹林が放置されたり後継者不足で年々生産量が減っています。
Therefore, this event has been held since 2022.
そこで2022年から開催されているのがこのイベントです。
Participants run about 1 kilometer to a bamboo grove, dig for bamboo shoots, and then return to the venue.
参加者は約1キロ走った先の竹林でたけのこを探して掘り、会場まで走って戻ります。
They compete in the number, size, and appearance of the bamboo shoots, and after reaching the goal, they enjoy bamboo shoot dishes.
たけのこの数、大きさ、見た目を競い、ゴール後にはたけのこ料理を楽しみます。
