Live Octopus, known in Korean as Sannakji (산낙지), is an adventurous and iconic Korean delicacy. It consists of a small octopus, freshly prepared by being cut into bite-sized pieces immediately before serving. The most distinctive feature is that the tentacles continue to move due to residual nerve activity and retain their suction cups, offering a unique and active sensation on the palate. Lightly seasoned, typically with a drizzle of sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, it delivers a mild, subtly briny flavor and a surprisingly chewy texture. This dish is celebrated for its extreme freshness and interactive dining experience.
