Why is it possible to eat eggs raw in Japan?

I would like to explain this, but before that, I would like you all to know the difference between eggs that can be eaten raw and those that cannot.
This difference is very important.
What do you think the difference is?
I’d like to say “Let’s think about it,” but I’m not going to do that this time, so I’ll just tell you the answer first.
The difference is what ……
It’s whether or not there is a large amount of salmonella in the egg.
Have you ever heard of it?
I think no one has ever heard of it.
That’s what it is.
However, whether or not there is a large amount of this salmonella bacteria in the egg determines whether or not you can eat the egg.

Explanation of salmonella

Salmonella is a type of intestinal bacteria that lives in the digestive tract of humans and animals and causes food poisoning.
It is called salmonella.
I’m sure you’re beginning to see the connection between eggs and salmonella.
In short, if the hen that lays the eggs has a large amount of salmonella, the salmonella can enter the egg with the hen when she forms the egg,
and the salmonella on the egg shell can enter the egg, causing a large amount of salmonella to enter the egg.
The important point here is the word “large amount” of salmonella.
Eating a small amount of salmonella will not cause food poisoning.
So, how we can reduce the amount of salmonella in the eggs is directly related to the ability to eat eggs raw.
Yes,heve you understood salmonella so far?
Now that you all know that the key to eating raw eggs is to control the number of salmonella in the eggs, let’s talk about why we can eat raw eggs in Japan.

Why we can eat raw eggs in Japan

Thank you for your patience, everyone.
It’s been a long time coming.
This is where I’ll get down to business.
I’m very impatient, so I’d like to make a quick conclusion.
Why is it possible to eat eggs raw in Japan?
It’s because of the good hygiene management.
As I mentioned earlier, the key is to control the number of salmonella bacteria that enter the eggs.
In order to reduce the number of salmonella that enter the eggs,
or rather, to prevent the hens from being infected with salmonella in the first place,
the environment of the hen house in Japan is prepared, and the eggshells are washed and sterilized during the distribution of the eggs.
In addition, hygiene is carefully controlled from the production stage to ensure that the eggs are eaten raw,
and the shelf life is often limited to about two weeks.
In addition to the regular eggs sold in supermarkets, there is a wide variety of brand-name eggs available in Japan.
Brand-name eggs are delicious eggs that have been carefully selected for safety, hygiene, and feeding.
I’ve digressed a bit, but I hope you all have a better understanding of why eggs can be eaten raw in Japan.
To eat eggs raw, it is very important to control the number of salmonella in the eggs, which means that hygiene management is very important.
I am very grateful to the producers who deliver eggs to my house safely and securely.
Thank you for everything.

Lastly

How have I explained the mystery of the raw egg so far?

I hope you know more about Tamagokake Gohan than you did before.
Raw eggs are commonplace in Japan, but in some regions they are not eaten.
Whether they are edible or not depends on how much bacteria is inside.
