    Are those egg yolks in the second photo? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before

      Not OP, but yes. Japan doesn’t have salmonella issues, so they put raw egg on everything.

        Japan absolutely has historically had salmonella issues, but they’ve done incredible work in the last thirty years, bringing their rate down by a lot. I don’t know how if the use of raw egg was rare when the salmonella rates were much higher though.

        Consumption of turtle meat and chicken sashimi also plays a role in salmonella cases in Japan, but those foods are less common worldwide.

          Turtle meat and chicken sashimi aren’t very common in Japan either. You wouldn’t pick an izakaya at random and expect either of those on the menu
