If its Japanese Knotweed its here to stay.

A dose of glyphosphate ( Round-up) should do it, with another treatment if any seeds germinate and start showing through. Catch it before flowering if you can.

They are ramsons - wild garlic. I've got them in my garden too and they're a menace - I've never planted any and I'd love to know how to eradicate them without using weedkillers. They're nothing to do with Japanese knotweed.

It's edible,so if you like garlic it can be cooked or used raw in salads.

Just a guess but this weed that you describe could be in fact be, Three cornered garlic, AKA three cornered leek,wildgarlic, onionweed, angled onion. It's more invasive than ramsons and has a more narrow leaf, similar to grass and is often mistaken for a white form of bluebell.
The easiest way to identify it is to look at a leaf in cross section and if it's what I'm guessing it will be triangular.

Google some images of it and let us know what you think.
