'Restaurant: Famous jjukkumi location : 179-15 Dohwa-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul San-nakji is a variety of raw dish made with long arm octopus. A small octopus species called nakji in Korean and is sometimes translated into \"baby octopus\" due to its relatively small size compared to the giant octopus. The octopuses are most commonly killed before being cut into small pieces and served, with the nerve activity in the octopus\' tentacles making the pieces move posthumously on the plate whilst served. The octopus\' highly complex nervous system, with two-third of its neurons localised in the nerve cords of its arms, lets the octopus show a variety of reflex actions that persist even when they have no input from the brain. Because the suction cups on the arm pieces are still active when the dish is served, special care should be taken when eating sannakji. Sannakji is served in Korean restaurants that serve sliced raw fish, but it also can be found at bars as a snack to accompany alcoholic beverages, such as soju.'
