In Japan, the sanitary conditions are amazing and so eating raw anything is totally fine. SURE, there is that once in a blue moon someone gets sick, but I think that's no matter what the conditions are.
We often eat raw egg, raw chicken, rare pork, raw beef, etc.

Sooooo delicious! I miss eating raw egg on everything. You can't do that in the US. Nor can you eat raw beef!!! There are a few places that serve beef sushi. Raw beef on rice with wasabi. Sooooo delicious!!!

I just made myself hungry....
