The waitress at the restaurant in Shinjuku, Tokyo, brought us fishing poles so we could hook our meal from the tank next to our table. The chef then prepared our catch into sashimi and served it with the remainder of the half-alive fish, its fins twitching and mouth gaping. It was delicious and obviously fresh, but I was disturbed as I looked into my meal’s eyes and I picked away at his sides.
