Japanese man’s first love is a cockroach; he imagined having sex and ate it when it died

Shinohara Yuta, 25, may seem like a normal Japanese youth but his passions are truly one of a kind. Known to be a promoter of entomophagy, the practice of eating insects, Yuta-san is making waves in social media for his homemade dishes incorporating insects with his specialty bug of choice being crickets.
In an interview with Asian Boss’ Hiroko-san last January 23, Yuta-san gave everyone a sneak peek at the life of an insect enthusiast.
They started out with the reporter trying some deep-fried crickets which she surprisingly liked. Yuta-san talked about how his inspiration and passion were born and mentioned that he loved nature and insects ever since he was a child, even though he didn’t really tell anyone that he ate bugs until he was 19 years old. It was when he read a report from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization back in 2013 that talked about the benefits of eating insects as a protein-source alternative in relation to the world’s rising population that he got inspired to “come out”. He said that since his belief and practice are backed up by the UN then it would be more justifiable.
From there he started sharing his love for insects in unconventional ways such as consuming them.
