Vending machine full of edible insects


Crickets, worms, bees… all that good stuff.

  1. Is that in the backstreets near Hatsudai/Hatagaya? Such a random place for a vending machine like that.

  2. You know. Japan. Never stop. It is weird stuff like this I like to find. Wouldn’t partake. But sit there in awe.

  3. I’ve seen one of these in my city and I only see people stop to take pictures, I’ve never seen anyone actually buy something from it. 

  4. You jest now but this is going to become a sustainable source of protein soon. They just need to be bred to be cheaper and taste better

  5. I had tinned crickets once when a friend brought them back from Tochigi (or some other prefecture north of Tokyo, I forget). Went down OK with beer, though getting cricket legs stuck between my teeth wasn’t the nicest sensation.
