The blood usually isn't consumed straight from the turtle... it's mixed with a wine usually and apparently it's supposed to give you "power". (It's also rumored to be an aphrodisiac, haha. I doubt that's why Ayu drank it but maaaayybeee... NAH. A lot of women seem to eat turtle nowadays because it's healthy and low in fat or whatever.) So it's sort of like a turtle blood cocktail~
