I don’t understand the point in asking this question if not to bait people into responding negatively. 🤷🏻♀️
But yea, I’d try it. Abalone is tasty and it’s so small that it stops moving after like half a chew.

Poor thing.

I think I would try it. I like abalone but never had one that was moving.

I’m not opposed to trying food like this, but as a very rare abalone eater (and having only tried it cooked) my major concern here is safety when eating. I know some animals like octopi and squid still retain force in their tentacles and can stick to your throat, thereby choking you if you eat it raw and wiggling. I know that it’s a dish in Korea, but they do say you have to chew carefully. Is this a factor when eating gunkan like this?

It’s just reacting to the salt. If you pour soy sauce in freshly sliced octopus it’ll also start contracting its muscles and moving. Very much fresh.

This actually unlocked a really old memory; my very very first exposure to Japanese food was when I was probably about 5 years old and I was watching the news with my parents, and they did a story on Japanese food which included shots of a live tiger prawn being chopped up alive and served up on a plate still moving. My parents were horrified and I started crying lol.
Decades later Japanese food to me is stuff like nikujaga, oyakodon, karaage, kari raisu etc.; home-cooked stuff, you know? I had completely forgotten about stuff like this until now, even though it was my first exposure to this cuisine

Absolutely not. Not under any circumstances. Not if there was a gun pointed at my head. Not if my life depended on it. Not in a month of Sundays. Not on your nelly. Not whilst there’s a hole in my arse.
I would rather shit in my hands and clap. I would rather feed my cock to the pigs. I would rather rub broken glass into my eyes with my testicles.

Nope. Hard pass.

I’m not a even a huge fan of abalone when it’s cooked.

So is it alive or is it just the nerves firing. Sometimes it is hard to tell

There is raw, and then there is raw…

Yeah I had one like this at a teppanyaki place in Tokyo. Was neat
Is it legal in the States? I would like to eat Island of the Blue Dolphins style, though.
There are so many Nos in the comments but honestly I wouldn’t miss a beat to try this. I HAVE to know what it’s like. Does that make me wrong?
By and large I love Japanese culture but I’ll never wrap my head around the “eat things still moving” aspect of it.
Mmm ocean fresh
F off, never, absolutely foul, would rather eat cardboard
