In Takamori Town, Nagano Prefecture, where there is a culture of eating insects, a vending machine for "insect food", which is attracting attention as a new source of protein to solve the world's food shortage, has appeared.
The vending machine for "insect food" was installed at the glamping facility in Takamori Town, Nagano Prefecture.
In addition to crickets and grasshoppers, a total of 18 types of fried and baked silk moths, turtles, and gengorou are on sale 24 hours a day.
In addition to salty flavors, some are seasoned with chocolate, and the price ranges from 1000 yen to 2600 yen.
This vending machine was installed by Asami Osawa (34), who is engaged in activities such as live distribution on the Internet, so that insects, which are attracting attention as a new source of protein, can be easily eaten.
Last month, Mr. Osawa installed an insect food vending machine in Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture, and some insects were sold out.
Mr. Osawa said, "Nagano Prefecture also has a culture of insect food, so I would like to spread it through vending machines. There are also chocolates and other unusual flavors, so I hope children and women will enjoy it." I was talking.
This vending machine will also sell locusts from Nagano prefecture in the future.
