About merging[edit]

Hi, I think that this page should remain solitary. The suggestion was to merge this page with ikizukuri. I have already discussed it in that article's talk page. My own reason that I feel that this page should remain separate is that ikizukuri is a Japanese tradition of cutting up live animals and serving them freshly cut; it's a tradition that simply doesn't exist in Korea. This includes octopus, shrimp, and several types of fish. In Korea (at least to my knowledge, though I could be wrong), octupus is the only animal that is prepared this way--Korea doesn't seem to have an ikizukuri like tradition of serving different types of sea critters like Japan does. Anyways, it's totally open for discussion. :)--Merkurix 14:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other live Korean food[edit]

Regarding the statement that octopus is the only live food they eat, I know that Koreans eat sanojingeo (산오징어) which is live (still wiggling) squid. You can also get live shrimp in Korean restaurants, although I forget if they are eaten live or killed in front of you. At any rate, I agree that this page should be separate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.153.118.200 (talk) 04:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Off topic[edit]

You know, when I was young, I thought sannakji and sanojing-eo lived in the mountains.. I didn't imagine them growing on trees, but I thought they were freshwater molluscs living upstream in the mountains, in the clear and icy cold waters... At least one friend of mine had had the same confusion, because san can mean alive, but it can also mean mountain. --Kjoonlee 08:34, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I thought the same thing. I mean if you conjugate the 살다 for present tense, it should be 사는 낙지, or 살아있는 낙지 or something. 산 낙지 doesn't make sense to me.Eunsung (talk) 09:42, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Soju[edit]

Why does it say, "Many people are willing to drink soju with sannakji"? It seems like it used to say something like, "Despite the noted toxic interaction of soju with nakji, many people are willing to drink soju with sannakji" or something. I'm taking out the "willing".Eunsung (talk) 09:42, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not live food.[edit]

The octopi are dead. There is no central nervous system intact after this except for some ganglia in the arms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sega31098 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, that would depend on the process in which the sannakji was prepared.Sega31098 (talk) 03:52, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
