Odorigui

There is an interesting gastronomic culture in Japan. It is “odorigui.” “Odorgui” is to eat seafood while it’s still alive. An especially famous one is “odorigui” of “shirouo.” “Shirouo” is a fingerling that has a small, transparent body. It’s eaten with vinegar soy sauce after scooping it with anet. It is enjoyed as a poetic event of the season. But not all Japanese are doing that.
"Odorigui is a bloody tyranny!" is one criticism has been received from foreign countries. Particularly, in Australia, odorigui is prohibited.
