Takeo Tokyo Hard Bug Pasta Snacks are basically crispy pasta in three flavors (the citric-spicy yuzu shichimi, onion garlic, and the thicker "rich cricket" variety). The difference is that the mix contains, besides semolina, a powder made from 80 dried house crickets. So choose your favorite flavor (yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit and shichimi is a blend of seven different spices - very popular in Japan) and explore how it blends with the raw, natural taste of the crickets. Even if the taste doesn't immediately win you over, your body will thank you for the protein boost (about 25 g, or 0.8 oz, for 100 grams, 3.5 oz).
