It has been revealed that a female police officer at the Higashi Police Station of Fukuoka Prefectural Police made a remark telling a foreign-looking woman, who was suspected of tearing up someone else's lost property report, to "go back to China." According to the Higashi Police Station, on the afternoon of the 15th, a woman of foreign nationality, believed to be involved, visited the station's counter, stating that she had lost her passport at her home. When the staff member who handled the case urged her to search her home again, the woman, who had been speaking in Japanese until then, became angry and began berating the staff member in a foreign language. It is reported that she also tore up a lost property report belonging to someone nearby. Subsequently, a female police officer from another department intervened to mediate the situation, but the argument escalated, and without confirming the woman's nationality, she made the remark, "Go back to China." The female police officer has expressed remorse, stating that she "became a little emotional." However, the police intend to investigate the incident, including the suspicion of obstructing official duties, regarding the foreign-looking woman who is believed to have torn up the lost property report.

Experience the quiet and cool 'scent of that museum' by uniquely blending spices and herbs. Create memories of insect food starting from the summer vacation of 2023." "Creating Memories of Entomophagy Starting from the Summer Vacation of 2023 'Traveling Cricket Museum Flavor' uniquely blends basil-based spices and herbs to express the imagery of the quiet and cool 'scent of that museum.' It seems that the 'scent of that museum' is derived from the odor of camphor used to preserve specimens. Camphor is a natural component derived from the oil of the camphor tree, and it is known to be present in basil as well. Recently, odorless preservation agents have replaced camphor in specimen preservation, but there are still insect researchers who continue to use camphor because they enjoy that scent. The concept behind TAKEO's 'Traveling Cricket' is to create insect food that brings joy to the people 'in that place.' This time, the stage is the museum shop of the insect exhibition. This product was born from the staff of the Fukuoka Great Insect Exhibition asking, 'Is there any good insect food that can be sold as a museum shop item?' Dr. Munetoshi Maruyama, the curator of the Fukuoka Great Insect Exhibition and a professor at Kyushu University, is actually the senior of Ryohta Mitsuhashi, the developer of TAKEO, from his student days. For us, it is an opportunity that will never come again to work with the admired Dr. Maruyama and Kyushu University Museum, so we put even more effort into product development. Initially, ideas such as cricket with mentaiko (spicy cod roe) flavor or tonkotsu ramen flavor were suggested due to the exhibition being held in Fukuoka. However, with the desire to create a product with longevity, we twisted the idea into the concept of 'museum flavor' and shaped it. While adults reminisce about the memories of the old museum, children create memories of entomophagy starting from here. 'Traveling Cricket Museum Flavor' has become a product that will surely bring joy not only to the customers who visit the museum, but also to the museum shop staff."
