东京餐馆推出限量版昆虫拉面

Within about four hours, the Ramen Nagi restaurant had sold out of the 100 bowls of "insect tsukemen" noodles it had prepared for Sunday's single-day event.

 

上周日，东京“拉面凪”餐馆举办为期一日的昆虫拉面品尝活动，还不到4个小时，100碗“昆虫沾面”就已销售一空。
 

 

The noodles were topped with about a dozen small crickets¹ and mealworms, which customers then dipped into soups flavored with crickets, grasshoppers² or silkworm powder.

 

The event was organized by the restaurant owner, and Yuta Shinohara, a 22-year-old who has set up insect-eating events in Tokyo, including a Valentine's Day celebration that served chocolates, cakes and cocktails³ featuring insects.

 

Shinohara, who started eating bugs⁴ as a child, wants to promote the alternative food culture in Japan and around the world, through ramen, a popular Japanese food.

 

"Through ramen, I'd like to spread how fun and delicious it is to eat insects," he said.

 

The full course, costing ¥3,000, consisted of insect ramen, a bowl of rice with crickets, spring rolls with fried worms, and ice cream flavored with insect powder. The ramen alone cost ¥1,500.
