Shocking Japanese Food!!! LIVE Sashimi & Monk Fish! (Sorry Peta)

they just kind of cut it immediately while it's still alive my effing god as a culinary destination you could say Japan has a lot of range the same place that brings you matcha desserts mochi balls and gold-plated ice cream is the same place that brings you sashimi so fresh the head of its provider is still gasping for breath as it watches you eat it I've never seen anything like this today is all about extreme Japanese seafood and these chefs have no chill [Music] from dancing shrimp oh the cut to one of the most terrifying sea creatures I have ever seen it looks like the villain on Finding Nemo so start typing you're offended comments now today we're taking on extreme Japanese food in Tokyo [Music] right beside me there are stairs leading into a basement ISA kaya selling ek Zuccotti this is a fish that is basically prepared and served while it is alive I want to find out if this is just a translation issue or if it is like alive alive let's find out parkour to be honest I have no idea what's in store for me all I know is that some locals eat this without batting an eye so I'm here to do the same we are in the basement of this easy guy right now I'll with my dude doechigi can I shake your hand yeah okay okay inside here is the fish we want it looks like a big bad mackerel he's gonna pull it out or gonna bring it immediately into the kitchen okay oh there it is so we've got oh wow it sounds like someone walking uh-huh Iike Zuccotti is the preparing of sashimi from live seafood the practice is outlawed in Germany and Australia all I know is I was told we have to be very fast while eating this he's removing the skin slicing up the fillet put it on the platter month f'ing god I honestly had no idea what was gonna happen before we came here today - this is so fresh looks like it's gasping every once in a while oh my gosh I've never seen anything like this I mean it's a beautiful cutting beam Cheers mmm chewing or fatty a very unique moment and unique experience for me this one my gosh you can see these beautiful striations of the meat or white inside red the skin has its own a little firmer texture mmm I got a sweet soy sauce in the middle oh so yummy I'm gonna try out one more in the vinegar hearing oh just soaking up the flavor of the sauce some are salty some are a bit sweet but the fish itself the most fresh fish I've ever had in my whole life now before you send any hate mail please wait there's actually more we are here waiting for one special dish for duty Abbi it's a form of sashimi tiger prawns that are still alive and able to move while you eat them it basically means dancing shrimp but they're not dancing right now sir join me these are dancing shrimp sausage oh do they need music so listen I'm not gonna eat you we want to see you that you're alive and then I'll eat one of your friends they're not even your friends you're ready they're dark I've really gotten to know this one I don't want to eat it we're trying to kind of show you guys oh so right now he's shelling the shrimp the main thing about the shrimp is that it's alive right now if you squeeze the head and then what remains is the shrimp tail throw in some sauce and eat it okay I'm gonna show my own and you can watch me Oh jeepers okay very slippery very cold squeeze the end of the head it's essentially still alive oh that's really good the shrimp is sweet itself it's a bit chewy like a nice firmness to it good flavor Wow they have a shot here too what I like about this shot is when they fill it they fill the top until it overflows into the bottom is that the right wine last up we have sea urchin right here locally known as Unni fishermen harvest the sea urchins fleshy inside it has a distinct polarizing taste that people love or do not love you've probably seen it a taco sushi before but here they just have a ton of it mmm no fishy tiny bit brining fatty delivery metallic flavor that comes out of it and he's not what you got to do in between bite so that was just so the next location we're going to it's a very unusual not typical at all fish and I promise it's already dead let's go a new day brings new possibilities and much less carnage right now I'm headed to pride fish wholesale this place has everything a restaurant a market and even fresh oysters now and enjoy our furniture thank you watch the sauce oh you do you speak English no now you can taste these giant crustaceans on the spot with a dash of lemon if you choose right now I'm hunting for the biggest one I can find area that's pretty good he's gonna break it open right now oh I'm happy he's so excited yeah it's so tender guys look at the size of this big gooey soft oyster I cannot wait here we go oh boy I feel like I just got a mouthful of the ocean right there and then you gotta taste it with a lemon ear ah it's like very soft tender texture it's like a big glob in your mouth very Oh sinéad ah thank you I do tip over to uh cigarettes now let me I'm gonna walk out of the shot no um do you know what I'm doing now -
