So crickets!
"Grillus Extract" is a seasoning liquid that concentrates the deliciousness of domestically produced Futahoshi crickets.
It has an excellent balance between the umami of seafood such as oysters and the salty taste, and can be used like soy sauce.
In addition to mitarashi sauce, you can also use it for strongly seasoned dishes such as teriyaki sauce.
You can eat it deliciously even if the surface of the dumpling is baked to the extent that it is browned.
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.
