Menma ([メンマ or 麺麻 or 麺碼] Error: {{nihongo}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a Japanese condiment made from lactate-fermented bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots are dried in the sun or through other means before the process of fermentation. Menma is a common topping for noodle soups, notably ramen. Menma is primarily produced in China, with brands imported from southern China and Taiwan being popular.[1] Menma is also known as shinachiku (支那竹), "Chinese bamboo".[1][2]
