To quote the folks that sent it to me
This is a dish called Odori-Don. It has a dead squid on top that “dances” when Soy Sauce is poured on it, activating it’s neurons.

Apparently the hi salt content in the soy sauce causes neruons to fire

 

I MUST TRY ODORI-DON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

@the odori-don dish, When I went to Japan a few years back we went to a restaurant where the family ordered the food for us. They brought out a little bowl with a lid on top, some poultry shears, and sauce on the side. When we opened up the bowl, having no clue what is was, a LIVE octopus jumped out and started crawling across the plate. It was the weirdest experience. It was tasty though, you basically cut off part of the tentacles and either ate it quickly live, or cooked it on a little burner they brought out. Definitely not something that is coming to America anytime soon.

 

Apparently not.

 

Good to know.

 

I thought it was still alive and though it was a bit messed up..


but its dead so who cares

 

Yea, I dissected one in Marine Biology. It's brain is really small.
