Izakaya where you can eat both insects and game.
It's sustainable and delicious! Experience the Food of the Future

"Rice and circus" focuses on wild birds and beasts and insects that have their head office in Takadanobaba. In anticipation of the future food crisis due to population growth, insect food, which has less environmental impact than cows, pigs, and chickens, contributes to global warming countermeasures, and also helps solve food loss problems, is attracting attention from the perspective of SDGs. You will be invited by a fairy neon reminiscent of the hustle and bustle of Asia, and open the door.…You should be able to abandon your preconceptions and enjoy delicious and diverse food culture. The rare animal meat and insects - Welcome to the future food experience!

Superfood of the earth with potential.
Enjoy the charm of insects itself

"Insect food is also attracting attention in sustainability. That's why I've always wanted to eat it. If people around the world replace livestock cattle and sheep with insect food with high environmental impact, they will reduce the amount of farmland they use and help solve deforestation." Komui, who had a strong interest in insect food from a sustainable perspective, ate a "six kinds of insect eating comparison set" that combines crickets, beeko, silkworms, giant millworms, magots, and turtles. "The biggest turtle is a fruity smell like pears! Because it is salted, it is sweet and salty, and it has a texture like eating fish. Millworm had a fermented odor like cheese, and it tasted like eating fried cheese. Since there is no taste unique to insects, it is easy for beginners to try. The flavor is slightly different and interesting, and even though it is small, I feel power and energy."

Enjoy nutritious insects and game.
It's a discovery like I've been to a new country!

"Cheers" with "Rice and Circus" are standard for nutritional tonic sake using various medicinal dishes and Chinese medicine ingredients that have been popular since ancient times, such as MUSHI sour, hubs, turtles, and scorpions. Komui ordered winter insect summer grass and centipede sake. "The caterpillars smell the soil. The centipede has a unique smell.…！ But there's no habit and it's easy to drink than I thought!" In addition, [Spring Tan Festival] is being held for a limited time until April 30. 10 kinds of tan carefully selected from Japan and abroad are served as a menu comparison. Gibier deer, wild boar, Asiatic black bear (first appearance this year!) You can eat rare tans such as horses, whales, crocodiles, ducks, cows, pigs, and sheep by smoke or broiling. "I think Gibier should be eaten more and more in Japan only. Many of them caught as pests are discarded as they are, so the number of people who want to eat is increasing, and I hope that the distribution of venison and boars should be improved. It's like you came to a new country today…It was a very fun experience."

New interpretations and new discoveries.
Shibuya PARCO is a place where you can grow yourself

He told us that "Super DOMMUNE" on Shibuya PARCO 9F is a place for learning and an important place for me to grow myself. "When I try new things, I often do with DOMMUNE, and it's like a laboratory for me. Focus on a single artist and unravel the history of art with that archive.…It's a very valuable and "audible" content. Because it is live distribution rather than reading with letters or books, there are quite a lot of spill stories, and I sometimes know information that I can't write in books (laughs). A new interpretation is born there, and there are discoveries about yourself. Mr. Ukawa (Naohiro) interprets it. A place where people with different contexts can broaden their insights and knowledge. What I am most interested in now is the project "HYPE FREE WATER" I am doing. Water is the root of the life activities of all living creatures. It also becomes water vapor, freezes, melts, turns into rivers, turns into seas, rains, etc.…If you do, you will get out of the hands you are trying to control. That's very interesting. As an artist, I want to create various forms of work, and it's not just one thing to dance, talk, or play, but to improve various skills little by little and multiply it I hope that what I can do will become my strength. As part of this, I plan to travel to India for a long period of training to learn Indian classical music."
