Would you try raw (slightly seared in my case) chicken if given the chance? It was offered to me last year, so I said why not. I love chicken and it tastes exactly how you'd imagine raw chicken tastes. It was pretty good!
NOPE NOPE NOPE, 10000% would not risk it for “Uncooked Raw” Chicken. Oyster raw is still acceptable, or event some red meat. I dont even imagine eating “Raw Chicken”

Absolutely not. It’s not even that I think I will get ill, it’s much deeper in my brain and my entire being. No raw chicken, no bugs, no rats, no animals that are kept as pets in my part of the world.

I’ve had it at about 80-100 times, without any problem.
However, on my first day of work, I invited out all the other new recruits to the place I always go, and all 12 of them got sick.
I was fine, but one person was hospitalised.
I think it is fine. Just the other people were weak.
But I give you one warning: HR department did not like this explanation.

I like trying new things, and mostly it pays off. I had raw chicken before and “it tasted just like i thought it would” but my case it wasn’t “great” (I ate it just fine, in fact everyone else I was with refused so I had the whole portion to myself) but I wouldn’t go out of my way to order it again).
On the other hand, I went to a horse meat specialized store where every menu item was horse meat and was seriously disappointed (similarly wouldn’t order again), but ordering higher quality from furusato nozei made it into one of my repeated favorites every year, so I wonder if “better quality” raw chicken would of been “better” 😂

This is the only dish I think twice before trying.

I’ve had it, but mine was more seared than that so it was a mix of raw and seared. Tasted great as they added some other toppings too. Basically just tasted like normal chicken

I just always thought that’s such a tourist trap. No one really eats it besides tourists.

No.
Camphylobacter is endemic to chicken and one of the major causes of food poisoning in Japan, and Toriwasa is a common cause of food poisoning there. There is no safe way to prepare raw chicken. Chickens can carry salmonella and camphylobacter in their flesh with no signs of illness. It is not necessarily caused by fecal contamination during slaughter.

I wanted to try, but never got a chance when I was there. Can’t wait to get back again, especially for the horse meat sashimi, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

Ive had it before in Osaka with yuzu-kousho. Â The thigh and breast meat was certainly tasty but the other parts of the chicken such as the lung was a bit too foreign for me to enjoy.
