Since opening Japan's first real store specializing in insect food in the Ueno Asakusa area of Tokyo in 2018, we have listened to the voices of many customers. Under such circumstances, we have emphasized product development focusing on the "enjoyment of insect food" such as the impact and texture peculiar to insects. As a result, although intermediate to advanced insect food customers were often satisfied, it was a fact that even beginners were not able to get close enough. think.
This time, we decided to develop a delicious and body-friendly insect cookie to meet the needs of insect foods that are easy to introduce to friends and family and can be eaten more easily on a daily basis, especially from women who are new to insect food.
"Soybean and cricket cookies made by an insect food specialty store" was developed by Michiko Miura, a self-proclaimed store manager who has had direct dialogue with more customers than anyone else.

Attention to insect food is increasing day by day. Opportunities to hear that insect food may be one of the means to save the protein crisis that will come in the future, and that insect production has a low environmental impact and may contribute to the deterrence of climate change. I think it has increased significantly. If you are more interested, let's talk about Michiko Miura while eating cricket cookies at the actual store!
