Mishima udo forcing (fermentation-heated huts) is a traditional udo cultivation process in which straw and dried grass are layered over rootstocks inside an udo hut, allowed to ferment, and their heat is used to maintain temperature while the shoots blanch.

Reading the bitterness

The udo-hut method is a way of blanching cultivation for Mishima udo. Ibaraki City's official page records a process in which udo rootstocks are arranged in an udo hut, straw and dried grass are layered over them, and the plants are grown while temperature is maintained using heat from their fermentation.

In this method, the fermentation heat of the straw and dried grass layered over the rootstocks plays the role of maintaining the environment inside the udo hut. The source explains the blanching cultivation of Mishima udo and the use of fermentation heat, but does not record specific temperatures, numbers of days, or any change in bitterness.
