Odori-dori, Extreme Culinary from Japan
Japan is a beautiful country. There are many cultures in Japan. Like: kimono, Samurai, Origami, cherry blossoms, Ikebana, Kabuki, etc. All of us who has an experience in visiting Japan really knew this very well. But there’s something good from Japan and this was spread to the world. That’s about culinary. Japan is also well known with delicious food. We all know about Japanese cuisine. It has enriched the culinary world. We can found this with many Japanese restaurants all over the world, with several menus like: sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, Udon, wasabi, tempura, etc.
If you have a plan to go to Japan, don’t forget to taste this food. Travel is identical with culinary, right. We need eating and this is naturally for travelers. There’s something weird from Japanese cuisine and this is totally extreme. This time we talk about odori-dori. However, the food is actually served at the Ikkai Tabiji restaurant in Hokkaido, Japan.
'Odori-don' or 'bowl of rice with squid dancing' is a Japanese dish that presents live squid that had been beheaded and placed on a bowl of sushi rice with chunks or thin slices of a severed head.
Initially, the head of the squid is seen not moving, but if the typical Japanese soy sauce seasoning poured on it, then the squid will be moving like he was 'dancing'. Please enjoy the video below.
After "the dance performance" shown by squid, and then it lifted from the bowl and cut into smaller sizes for later restated by the chef. It looks torturing animals, but this is really happen in Japan and it served to the customer as squid lovers. The world is filled with unique and crazy things, including this one. Hopefully it will enrich the world culinary travel. You can try this during your trip in Japan or just see this performance from the bowl.
