Rinse the bamboo shoots under cold water. Then slice them into thin strips.
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and water. Add the bamboo shoots, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the beef mince to the skillet and cook until browned.
Mix soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and dashi stock in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the beef and onions in the skillet. Stir and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the liquids reduce slightly.
Gently fold the seasoned menma into the beef mixture, allowing the flavors to meld for another minute.
Serve the beef and menma mixture over steamed white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and pickled ginger if desired.
