As somebody who doesn’t eat sushi, I’m not a huge fan of Japanese cuisine. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that looks less appetizing than Odori-don, which you can see in this video.

Seasoned soy sauce is first poured on top of the squid to make it “dance.”
Um, no thank you. Here’s what it looks like at your table:

Ewwww. That is just wrong.
Animal cruelty. That is what that is.
I eat sushi, but I prefer that it stay in the bowl or plate it’s in.
That is sadistic and cruel! What’s for dessert… butterflys with their wings pulled off?
