I double-dare you to watch this Japanese dish

Here’s a fun Japanese restaurant is located in Shinjuku, Tokyo where a live bullfrog gets to stare at you as you eat it.

Live Frog sashimi

Ok, ok, while eating live fish sashimi (especially eating jumping live shrimp–odori ebi–”dancing” shrimp) is quite common in Japan, this is perhaps Japan’s only eat-a-live-wiggling-frog restaurant. Check out the restaurant’s review other delicacies like raw pig uterus, sashimi of pig testicles, and their dread “Whatnot.”

   Translation of above:
   The name of the place is “Morning Start” (morning glory).
   Even the name is sucks.
   Management is Korean. Most of the customers also are Korean.

   It’s not a Korean restaurant and doesn’t have Korean foods on the menu. The owners featured in the video are native speakers of Japanese and must have been born in Japan. The only thing remotely Korean about the place is that the restaurant’s name is characteristic of the alternative name of Korea, “Morning Calm” wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Korea, so maybe the owners are of Korean ancestry.

   …The World Bags and Luggage Museum is home to the personal collection of the owner of Japan's Ace luggage company (the world's first producer of nylons bags). It houses more than 400 examples of handbags, travel bags, and trunks made from everything from Zebra to frog.…more....
