Random Fact of the Day no. 20 (RFOTD #20)

Katsu ika odori-don (活いか踊り丼, dancing squid rice bowl) is a Japanese dish consisting of a fresh squid atop either rice or noodles. Upon pouring soy sauce on the squid, it squirms ("dances"). The reaction is an automatic response to the sodium chloride, or salt, in the soy sauce. The recently deceased squid may lack a brain, but its muscle cells, which receive electrical commands, are still intact.

The squid’s muscles still retain adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of energy for muscle contractions. Therefore, when the sodium in soy sauce is absorbed into the creature’s body, it triggers muscle spasms that appear to make the cephalopod dance. Of course, a specimen must be fairly fresh for soy sauce to elicit this reaction

Rice bowl with a side of NOPE!

Rice bowl with a side of NOPE!

The cuttlefish in the video — part of a seafood dish named odori-don — is actually no longer living. When the sodium in soy sauce is absorbed into the creature’s body, it triggers muscle spasms that appear to make the squid dance.

Incidentally, it makes humans like me fall from their chairs and vomit.

I just learned that a dead cuttlefish has better moves than me.

the neurons of a dead squid in a japanese dish called odori-don are activated by soy sauce, causing it to “dance”
