Word on the web is that Tokyo is creating a buzz with its digger wasp rice crackers, or jibachi senbei. The inventive minds behind the snack belong to a Japanese wasp fan club hailing from Omachi, about 120 miles northwest of Tokyo. After catching the digger wasps in nearby forests, the insects are boiled and dried before being sprinkled over the cracker dough. The crackers are described as being " slightly more oily than the soy-sauce flavored traditional ones" and the fan club claims the insect addition "adds a waspish scent to the traditional fare," and lets face it, who doesn't find themself for want of more waspish scent in their life?
While not a hit amongst the young crowd, the wasp crackers are apparently a crowd pleaser with older folks. Output is said to be limited as wasps are caught in the wild for "optimum" flavor.
