The Cricket Rice Cracker is developed in collaboration with Tokushima University, using the edible crickets called "Futahoshi cricket" that lives in Okinawa and Amami Oshima for mass-production, and made into a powder, and kneaded into a rice cracker.
No extra ingredients were used in the production to brings out the cricket original taste. And based on the official statement, the Crickets Rice Cracker taste like shrimp.
