In Japanese cuisine, ikizukuri (生き作り, “prepared alive”) is the preparation of sashimi from a living animal.
Ikizukuri usually begins with the customer selecting, from a tank in the restaurant, the animal (shrimp, octopus, lobster, assorted fish) they wish to eat. The chef, almost always a sashimi chef who has undergone years of training and apprenticeship, takes the animal out of the tank and filets and guts it, but without killing the animal, which is served on a plate, sliced, with the heart still beating.
Ikizukuri of fish consists of thin, sheet-like slices or finger-sized pieces sometimes garnished with lemon wedges, a decoration of ginger, or nori (seaweed). Squid and small octopuses are usually wrapped around a chopstick and eaten whole.
Ikizukuri is a controversial method of food preparation, both in Japan and in other countries. In Japan, inhumanity (不人情) and savage behavior (野蛮な行動) are regarded with intense disapproval and many people consider ikizukuri to display both traits.

Odori ebi, shrimp eaten alive in Japanese cuisine
Odori Ebi (踊り海老 / 躍り海老, odori ebi /lit. "dancing shrimp") is a delicacy of Japanese sashimi and sushi. It is translated as living or dancing prawns. The sushi contains baby shrimps (Pandalus borealis) still alive and able to still move its legs and antenna while being eaten. The meal is prepared quickly to keep the prawn still alive, usually dunked into sake in order to intoxicate the shrimp. The person eating the prawn would usually dip the live shrimp into a special dipping sauce and quickly chew on the animal to kill it. Some keep the mouthful and enjoy the movement of the animals.
A Japanese sashimi dish which is a shrimp still alive. It is very expensive to order because preparation must happen very quickly and skilfully to keep the shrimp live. A live shrimp is shelled, then the head removed, and the shrimp served to you while it is still twitching on the plate.
The head and shell are sometimes quickly deep-fried and served on the side.
Kuruma shrimp (kuruma ebi) are often used.

Things found on the way
buri and hamachi
Yellowtail is a fish with, as its name might suggest, yellow stripes along its tail section. In Japan the name for this fish changes depending upon its stage of growth. There are also some slight differences in naming by region, but the common names are: wakashi /tsubasu (from 20 cm), inada/hamachi (from 40 cm), warasa worn 60 cm) and buri (from 80 cm).
Yellowtail is a big fish and so is usually already sliced before hitting me store shelves. The most common ways that yellowtail is eaten in Japan are raw as sashimi, boiled in a sauce, as teriyaki or broiled with salt. The head section is called "kama'and makes for a popular grilled treat.
Yellowtail is loaded with taurine and unsaturated fatty acids such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DH/ (docosahexaenoic acid). This fish is also rich in vitamins B1, B2 and D.
