There are always raw eggs in Japanese cuisine. What is it used for?

People's lives are getting better and better. Some people pursue luxury cars, while others pursue big houses. However, for foodies, the best thing is food. Tasting delicious food itself is the best thing in the world. With money in their pockets, many people are not only satisfied with our delicious food in China. Even though China has a lot of delicious food, it is also conducive to cultural exchange. There are more and more Japanese food, Korean food and big western restaurants in China, but when we go to eat, we always encounter some small problems that we don't know how to deal with.

When it comes to Japanese food, what's your first thought? Sushi? Sashimi? Actually, my first thought is raw eggs. Because every time I go to eat Japanese food, the clerk always puts a plate of raw eggs next to the staple food, but I look around and I can't make it without a pot. I have no idea how to eat. Are raw eggs unpalatable? Wouldn't that be too tricky?

In fact, there are great differences between Japan and China in raw eggs. In China, eggs can't be eaten raw. Few people have the habit of eating raw eggs. Even if the nutritional value of raw eggs is higher than that of cooked eggs, domestic raw eggs have a faint fragrance. If it is cooked and eaten raw, there will be obvious feelings. So many people can't eat it. The most important thing is that there are many parasites and bacteria in our raw eggs that have not been killed. Once in a while, it is no problem to feel fresh for a long time.

Japanese raw eggs are different from ours. Japan has strict quality control over eggs. When they produce and process eggs, they can even be free of bacteria. From the moment the chicks are hatched, they are strictly controlled. They eat highly safe feed, and then the eggs they grow up will go through a series of quality control such as cleaning, inspection and selection. And the whole process will be packaged directly without manual touch, and then sold. Therefore, raw eggs in Japan can be eaten raw without worrying about parasites and the like.

The other is about the taste of eggs. It is well known that eggs have a little fishy smell. Although some people think it can be ignored, many people still find it unbearable. In fact, the smell of the freshest eggs is very weak. Japanese eggs have a taste appreciation period, that is, it is best to eat eggs during this time. Even after the tasting period, they can be cooked and eaten. In particular, the Japanese have been eating like this since childhood, so this is also their food culture. When eating, we can do whatever we can. When we had a barbecue, the medium-rare beef tongue was stained with sterile eggs, which was delicious.
