For this recipe, we will introduce the Setsubun dish "Setsubun soup" that is eaten with Ehomaki!
Setsubun soup is also known as "oniyokejiru".
Because of the custom of eating soybeans on Setsubun, it is said that the nutritious soybeans (mame) in the soup are said to ward off misfortune and evil, warm the body from the inside, and prevent colds.
Although it is only seasoned with "grillus extract", it is finished in a soup with a strong umami flavor!

So crickets!
The decisive factor in the taste of Setsubun soup is the grilus extract.
It is characterized by a strong oyster-like umami and salty taste, and the extract alone can be used to create a strong dashi flavor.
If you feel it is a little thin, adjust the amount of extract to your liking.
This recipe allows you to wash the root vegetables well and eat the skins to minimize food loss.
At the same time, you can save the trouble of cooking.
Why Cricket?
The protein crisis that will occur in the future and the food loss problem that is currently occurring mainly in developed countries. In order to solve both of these problems, Grilas grows edible crickets using food waste as food.
