"Chicken sashimi is by no means a proof of food safety in Japan but is eaten as a part of Japanese food culture, prepared by one of the traditional cooking methods and old food wisdom that have been passed down generations."
In Japan, the way they usually prepare the sashimi is by taking thin slices or cubes from the inner breast. This is the part of the chicken that has the lowest possibility of contamination.
02/6Why do they raw meat and fish? According to the Japanese culinary culture most delicacies are prepared by sourcing fresh ingredients and the same goes for meat and fish. Most fish and meat preparation are done right after catching the fish or cutting the meat.
The Japanese catch the food that they plan to eat and eat it while it is still fresh without storing it for future consumption. In addition, they use a lot of wasabi and soy sauce as seasoning and condiments. Both of these condiments have good antibacterial properties.
Apparently a thing in Japan — where it is known as torisashi — and available at a handful of culinarily adventurous American restaurants, chicken sashimi is pretty much what it sounds like: raw chicken.
Americans eat more chicken than any other meat. Chicken can be a nutritious choice, but raw chicken is often contaminated with Campylobacter bacteria and sometimes with Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens bacteria. If you eat undercooked chicken, you can get a foodborne illness, also called food poisoning.
Salmonella is prevalent in Japan as well, and campylobacter is responsible for 60 percent of food poisoning cases in the country. High-end yakitori restaurants, however, take special care to source chicken clean enough to eat raw.
Tonkatsu
They are unhealthy but taste so good. Japan has one significant deep-fried dish that we can't simply take our hands off. Tonkatsu is a pork loin covered with breadcrumb and deep-fried, usually served with miso soup, rice, shredded cabbage and high-calorie thick & rich sauce.

Raw fish is pretty tasty if you like sushi, but eating other raw meats is a terrible idea. The parasites and bacteria in some raw meat, like pork or chicken, are a lot more dangerous than the bacteria in fish.
The monks believed the new trend of eating meat was “destroying the soul of the Japanese people.” For both religious and practical reasons, the Japanese mostly avoided eating meat for more than 12 centuries.
Beef was especially taboo, with certain shrines demanding more than 100 days of fasting as penance for consuming it. The story of Japan's shift away from meat began with the arrival of Buddhism from Korea in the 6th century. At that time, the Japanese were meat eaters.
Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which makes it extremely healthy. But when cooked, most of these healthy omega-3 fatty acids are lost. Another reason why Japanese eat raw fish is because it's an island nation and has a strong history of ocean and freshwater fishing.
The risks and infections from raw chicken typically come in the form of gastroenteritis, commonly known as food poisoning, a stomach bug, or stomach flu. While symptoms will vary between people, common symptoms include: Diarrhea. Abdominal pain and cramping.
Animals can eat raw meat because they have have stronger stomach acid that helps digest their food. From an evolutionary standpoint, the acid has needed to be much stronger to kill parasites and different bacteria. Why else can't we eat raw meat? It's because that we don't eat our meat right away.
Salmonella is the principal microorganism of human health concern associated with eggs and egg products. While the frequency of Salmonella-contaminated eggs in Australia is very low, there is a potential risk of illness from consumption of raw or lightly-cooked eggs, or consumption of uncooked foods containing raw egg.
It means that Japanese consumers eat eggs almost every day. Eggs are considered easy to prepare, and in addition to that, eggs are a food with high nutritional value because they contain abundant protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
