| I already happened to know what kaeru means, so I wasn't either impressed or willing to eat it, being a vegetarian and all :p |

the fukin music in this video!!!!! omfg
this is oddly similar to when I get amaebi (sweet shrimp) at a nice sushi spot i like here. they're still alive when they sushi them up for you, and they send the heads out on a platter of ice while you nom nom on the delicious tasty meat. Then you have the option of getting a miso soup with the heads or deep frying them and eating with ponzu sauce. I generally go for the latter - I can't imagine how that would be for the frog. The shrimp's legs/arms/wtf-do-shrimps-have move around awkwardly, similar to the frogs body. I've actually had a similar experience with uni (sea urchin)--watching as the chop the see urchin in half and then you just eat the good stuff while the thing still moves.
These analogs aren't nearly as...compelling as seeing the frog there (admittedly, they don't play sad, sappy music while you eat them, either), but I think that viewing this in that way--that is, as an analog of (dubiously) acceptable practices--really helps with the response. What I'm saying is this: if the frog is sufficiently dericious, I'll be ordering kaeru in tokyo for sure. |

Hello
Thank's for your report, i guess they do that with anything who come from watter , all the sea food or river food ( as frog or fishes ... ) I just hope to don't go to a restaurant who serve it.
That must be some kind of experience the first time you eat stuff who move in the plate :nervous:
By the way, as you know well Japan, Alive stuff is it called "Sashimi" ? |

Sashimi is just the name given to raw meat in general, be it fish or horse ("horse sashimi" is also known as "sakura", like the trees). If it meant living stuff, ordering horse sashimi would be a lot more awesome than it actually is.
Come to think of it, brb, just has a great business idea. |
