Last year, we spent a day with Shinohara Yuta, an entomophagist who eats and makes dishes using insects. Watch the video here ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZen6iCaT_0
His dream was to open an insect restaurant which he turned into reality. So we re-visited him on the day he opened his business for the very first time.
Special thanks to Shinohara Yuta for sharing his story.

Crickets actually get stired fried wth lime leaves in my country in the countryside, it actually tastes very good
Hiroko, your hair looks lovely
Health inpector: hmmm…do I fail him for having insects everywhere and in the food? 😀
when they met : *bows repeatedly and stays apart*
also them : *proceeds to walk side by side*
i thought ,it must be a gaming restaurant 😅
I wonder how confused the authority was when they finna check the standard restaurant cleanliness
despite how bizarre this is, he’s so passionate, so cool
Big hypocrite! Would you love dogs and like eating dogs? Would cats be your favourite pet and then you open a restaurant just to cook cat meat?
And this guy is doing exactly the same. He dates an insect and opens a restaurants just to cook insects. Imagine you being his girlfriend, he’ll cook your species.
Just kidding.
Hiroko! Always so brave! I’ve had chocolate covered ants before (but chocolate, of course). I’ve eaten roasted crickets once. Crunchy. But to do it on film? You are my hero!
I’m so happy for him. I really hope he succeeds. I’d visit his restaurant if I ever get the chance.
Lol did it make sense
How anyone can date a cockroach 🙄
Here even i can’t get a boy
My bad
Lol what is going on 😂
That looks delicious!!! 🦗🍜🍺👌🏼😋 This kind of food would be well received in Mexico, we have a millennial tradition of entomophagy. I’ll definitely visit this restaurant when in Japan. 🙌🏼😄
I want to know how much the cricket ramen costs! And how much does it cost on his end to produce the items on his menu since he also feeds/raises the insects…
Oh no… I found a bug in my ramen.
Now I want to sue the restaurant.
Bugs or no bugs he’s a handsome dude
this guy eats bugs everyday
Very interesting, strange, and worthwhile video.
thank god he’s not Chinese, that makes the comment section really peaceful
Lol wtf Cricket is a sport but here eating!!!!.
japanese people nod their head a lot😂 cant stop noticing it
I’ll definitely eat cricket ramen if I ever get a chance to visit Japan!
Cool dude but Nawfkdat I aint eating no bugs bruh
The restaurant is very beautifully made
Although the menu scares me but that’s just on me for being scared of bugs
This guy could solve the locust plague problem in Las Vegas by just opening a branch there
In my country, the crops are getting fked by crickets. Those farmers better see this and learn to make use of the crickets as food 😂
Damn, I kinda wanna try his foods.
Ew
I thought they were talking about Cricket ( The Game)
Eww thats disgusting😨😵😱now japan on foot steps of china
Is it only me or all japanese are weirdos
He’s unique and crazy too😅
Humble, hardworking, innovative, young, passionate, and feeds his community. This dude deserves a lot of success, hopefully one day he opens up a place here in LA so I can visit
Hiroko sounds politely terrified.. 😟😟😟
But at the same time amazed as well. 😶
I don’t like this as he throws the bugs alive into the hot pan.
I was a bit confused with this video so I looked up for the previous interview with this man and found this.
So basically this man loves insects and most probably have obsession with them and even had a cockroach as a girlfriend named LISA. But since cockroaches have a short life span, he ate her so Lisa could stay with him forever.
I’m still so confused, I don’t even know how to react to that. The eating insect part is not the problem cause there are many countries that serve insects as their delicacies but the fact that he’s into insects, that’s where it takes a weird turn.
I seen enough of the internet I’ll just stop here.
But on a serious note this guy seems really nice.
“He loves insects and makes recipes with them”. WTF !! You don’t eat a living creature that you love.
As if Corona wasn’t enough.😒
“a man who loves insects and makes recipes with them” fukin logicccc
Hiroko stans where you at
For one moment I thought Lisa was a person and he ate her, 😂😂 I was socked
Asian boss is Korean propaganda media to play down China and Japan. They pretend that they pick and choose topic from all over major Asian countries, but if you look the list of video carefully, they only make Korean praising videos while most of videos are carefully termed in a tone either bashing/playing down China and Japan.
Asian Boss: Last year we interviewed Yuta, a man who loves insects and makes recipes with them.
Me: Cool! If there were only more people like him! We need to make more use of insects as sources of nutrition!
Asian Boss: He even shared that he dated a cockroach named Lisa.
Me: I… what.
Ewwwwww
Yuta 君, おめでとう🎊
Eating crickets is no big deal. But marrying a cricket? That’s abnormal bro..
I swear insect restaurants are the future and it’s amazing that this guys started one of them. I really hope he succeeds.
*I try my best to not judge how ppl live their lives and adopt a mindset of to each their own but a cockroach for an EX, I CAN’T!*
I too, enjoy devouring my girlfriends whole
Tbh insects are not for me, neither as friend nor in my soup but I am glad to see how happy he gets while fulfilling his dream! 頑張ってね
Congratulations!
She should let them enjoy the food while it’s hot then interview them after.. having to pause in between bites to talk when they rather be eating instead made me anxious 😅
Alrighr kids, todays lesson is about why you don’t eat insects and your wife.
Don’t judge him. People have their preferences. It’s not hurting anybody so let him live his dream.
Do you guys know Cricket is also a sport 😅
Nvm the menu, the shop looks great!! Great respect for youngster to starting own shop!
Kinda bugging me
Hitoro. I love how she is never judging or making faces at the interviewees at any given circumstances.
This guy is awesome, that’s so unique.
Sister Hiroko has guts, eating insects.
Wow! Ea era înfricoșată dar a continuat să mănânce! Superb! 💚⚡
This guy is awesome. I’m so happy for him!
guy wishes he was shino from naruto
Oh my god this is so disqusting
The silkworm poo sounds more disgusting than crickets!
I would actually go try this if I went to Japan.
What goes on
No one:
Japan:
“Guy marries body pillow”
“Guy dates roach, names it and eats her”
Wow! Inspirational! I wanna try them too.
Hello Asian boss, can you make a vlog about asking some koreans if they are watching other Asian countries drama. Please notice me. Thank you
Congratulations young man! I wish you peace, health & prosperity brother💚
Yum I love crickets!! Seriously, insects might look gross and creepy at first, but they taste absolutely delicious once cooked! ♡
This man is sooooo unique and cool! Eating crickets is normal in my country though… I have just refused to try it… Lol😊😁
He ate his girlfriend… really 🤐
Congratulations on on your opening of restaurant cheers 🍻 🎊🎈🎉wishing u much success 💐have a great day 🤘☮️♥️🍀😜🤟🦋
I have a crush on Hiroko
I’m here just for Hiroko, who’s with me
He DATED a cockroach??….SMMFDH
She didn’t taste the beer though!
Can you ask Vietnamese people what they think about ‘Chữ Nôm’, the previous writing system before the Portuguese and French came? And what they prefer more?
The dude in blue shirt looks like a young version of Hiroyuki Sanada, like for real.
Great 👍🏿 job by the host/interviewer
it seems like very high end Japanese senses of practical humor to me. My erstwhile Japanese girlfriend would take me to bathtub and whisper shirako, shirako in my ears while giving me an underwater handjob.
Nah. Sincerely, civilised Asia.
I genuinely feel interested in trying out insects now. I’m thankful to Hiroko and Yuta as I believe most of my interest is due to how open minded Hiroko approached this and Yuta’s willingness to share information c:
Hiroko is such a good sport, I really wouldn’t have been able to eat the bugs but would have tried the ramen and broth. This was super interesting!
He’s either a troll or completely out of his mind, because damn.
This must be a joke.
Or that’s real bestiality.
Those sounds they make while eating….🤢🤢
That dude just opened his own restaurant with such a different and amazing theme, and most of the comments are stuck with the fact that he dated a cockroach.. lol.. Well he is gonna earn amazingly.. with his creativity..
GO VEGAN IF you think you are smart! This is spreading idiocy .
omae wa mou insectrru, nani
Who else thought the video is about the sport cricket? Only me!.. Okay..
Don’t want to sound rude,but this is disgusting
i think this must stop now. Specially Asians should take it serious now. We are already going through a Global Pandemic.
where is the restaurant took place? i think i will go there if Japan already open the border 😁😁😁curious about this restaurant 😃
The restaurant is named Anti-Pinnochio
The signature dish is Fried Jimminy
My stomach says yes, my tongue says no.
8:15 There’s always a risk with eating any kind of food really though. Meat can cause cancer, carbs cause unnecessary amounts of weight gain, heck, the majority of people’s lifestyles have something in it which is a danger to their health. I think this put into perspective, there really is no issue.
Wow! this looks awesome. When I clicked I thought this was about a cricket (sport) theme based restaurant in Japan since Japan recently introduced a cricket team at u19 level. This had a better ending that I imagined.
Hiroko gets prettier and prettier with every video! <3
