Yobuko, Live Squid
Yobuko in Sagaken is a well known harbor town famous for its fresh squid. Many tourists come here to eat squid, ika, that has been freshly caught and then served as sashimi or eaten while the squid is still moving.
Just like putting out the laundry, squid drying on a line

Anyone for a trip out to catch squid?
Harbor, mountains and more squid
There are small boats going out to the islands in the harbor
Here are some live ones
This was my lunch, very fresh, still moving actually
Guess what they serve here
Yobuko is said to be one of Japanese 3 famous fish markets

The lights on the boats are to attract the squid at night

I’ve never had dried or live squid actually. The lunch you had looks really fresh, but I’d really prefer it dead when eating it^^
True, fresh was good, but its probably easier to eat when its not wriggling about on the plate
