Japanese insect foods are exotic, local niche items that the vast majority of modern Japanese have never - and likely would never - try even once in the course of their lifetimes. With that said, insects have enjoyed a place at the Japanese dinner table for many centuries.

Ha ha - I just found this. Awesome. Selling snowmen to the Japanese. People buy...I'll try it if I can get my hands on it....Not quite as bad as Nakashima Mika's version (honestly what could be?), but...OH wait a minute...it is damn pricey for just a three pack....This might actually be good. I look forward to giving it a try....Congrats on getting photo of the week in the current...well done Danny!! I'm sold! (-:...Good point. Maybe he had a senior moment....I thought the pictures were great! Nice review. :-)...But if he's Catholic...where's that put HIS work ethic? Ha ha. What wins out?...

Impressive article ! I am humbled.
Oh yes. I've seen this on a documentary. They destroyed a large wasp colony using smoke and then ate the wasps and larvae as a delicacy. The larvae I might actually be persuaded to try (I've had stranger)
i saw lots of fried insects when I visited Thailand but this is the first mention I've seen of insect cuisine in Japan. When I first got here, I never imagined I could eat horumon but here I am; voluntarily ordering heart and liver at yakiniku places. Who knows? Maybe they're tasty. I'd have to go with the Thai version, though - I've yet to eat anything fried that isn't tasty.
I actually just had "inago no tsukudani" this weekend for the first time. It wasn't bad. I'm not sure about the leaving the sugar part out, since they tasted pretty sweet to me. Good post buddy.
