Pop Japan

Being an archipelago, Japan has been known for its sushi and sashimi, which are mostly seafood dishes. But maybe you haven't really tried sashimi if you haven't tried something moving.

Are you ready to eat moving squid? If yes, try the Dancing Squid Sashimi!

If the squid is moving, does this mean it’s alive? The answer is no. Latent electrical pulses are actually traveling through the squid’s muscle neurons. And this intensifies further when you dip it into soy sauce.

If you’re up for weird, slightly creepy food, this dish can be found in the prefectures of Hakodate and Aomori.
