Hebo Meshi
Hebo is the larva of local bees. Hebo mesh is rice mixed with local bee larvae that have been pulled out of beehives with tweezers. Hebo hives are found in July and August, during the grass-cutting season. Small entire hives are brought back in a box, left under the roof outside the house, and the larvae are taken out in September to simmer them in soy sauce and sugar.
