"[TAKEO] Insect food lucky bag", which is a set of "insect food" such as crickets, is accepting reservations online at Village Vanguard Online. The price is 3,500 yen (tax included).

This is a lucky bag packed with 1 box of "cricket pasta" using 20% powdered cricket, 1 pack of "larva mix", and 1 can of "Kyokuto scorpion" (equivalent to 4,500 yen).

Cricket pasta contains more protein, calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and omega fatty acids than regular pasta. It contains a large amount of amino acids, and other pasta has a umami flavor. Especially, it seems to go well with Japanese-style pasta such as soy sauce.


The larva mix includes four types of "mealworms" (larvae of Tenebrionidae), which are eaten all over the world including Mexico, as well as large-sized "superworms", "sagoworms" and "silk moths". Mealworms have no habit of taste and can be eaten like a snack.


The Kyokuto scorpion contains two scorpions of about 4 to 5 cm. Scorpions have been used as Chinese food and Chinese medicine for a long time. It is heat-treated and completely dried to finish.


The product will be shipped in late December.
