Odori-don is a sushi dish with a dead octopus that dances when soy sauce is poured on it.
“To understand the science behind what exactly is going on here, you must think of the soy sauce as jolting the squid’s tentacles with very small amounts of electricity. The energy lies within ions contained in the sauce’s high sodium content. These ions are used in cells to create voltage differences. Because the squid is served fresh, the cells inside are still active and when the sodium is applied, the signals across the nerve cell membranes are temporarily reactivated causing the squid to ‘dance.’”

“If you missed the PBS screening last month of Eames: The Architect and the Painter you can now watch the film online here. And Eames Demetrios, grandson of Ray and Charles, sent me a handy link to a series of posts the Eames family has written about the film. You’ll get a personal insight into the documentary from the family.”
DO IT.
