Hebo (wasps) dishes

"Hebo" refers to wasps. In mountainous areas far away from the seas, hebo has been consumed as a precious supply of protein by sweetening and boiling it in soy sauce or cooking it with rice. In the Kushihara area of Ena city, locals try to grow wasps' nests bigger in their private properties, and they even hold a competition in November every year over the weight of the nests.
