On a recent vacation in Tokyo, Takumi Yamamoto opted for a special lunch of cricket curry and silkworm sashimi, washed down with a water bug cider.
最近到東京度假時，山本拓海（音譯）選擇吃一頓與眾不同的午餐，點了蟋蟀咖哩和蠶生魚片，配著水蟲蘋果酒一起下肚。
The 26-year-old office worker, from the western prefecture of Hyogo, is one of scores of consumers across the world who have taken an interest in entomophagy, or eating insects, as bugs slowly become a more viable food source.
隨著昆蟲慢慢成為較可行的食物來源，這名來自日本西部兵庫縣的26歲辦公室職員，是對吃昆蟲感興趣的全球廣大消費者之一。
As a child, Yamamoto said he sometimes snacked on soy-sauce basted grasshoppers. In Tokyo, he indulged in insect cuisine at Take-Noko cafe, which embraces all things buggy.
山本說，他幼年有時會吃沾上醬油的蚱蜢當點心。來到東京後，他愛上Take-Noko咖啡廳的昆蟲美食，與昆蟲有關的東西在那應有盡有。
"It’s fun to select from a wider variety of dishes," Yamamoto said at the cozy second-floor cafe, surrounded by insect art and terrariums of skittering beetles, ants and cockroaches.（Reuters）
山本在舒適的咖啡廳二樓說：「從更多種類的菜餚中挑選很有趣。」這家咖啡廳四周都是昆蟲藝術品，還有飼養著飛舞的甲蟲、螞蟻和蟑螂的飼養箱。（路透）
