Another day, another bizarre happening here in Japan. We had a little festival in our part of town yesterday, so pre festivities we went over to a neighbour's house for a bit. There, I was plied with beer, and once suitable drunk, I was required to eat "inago".
Inago are deep-fried locusts.
Yum ....
About to enter the mouth ...
In it goes ...
And the reaction!
They don't actually taste that bad. Pretty much like deep-fried anything. The most annoying part is that the legs get stuck in your teeth. I was still pulling them out an hour later.
Here's a few shots of the festival to show how we party round my way. To be fair, the fireworks were pretty impressive.
