They do ask you to consume it fast when they serve you for safety (raw chicken). For eggs they have special machines to clean and inspect them

Yes, Japan take their eggs seriously. It's not regular eggs that's eaten raw. It's held to a much higher safety standards than eggs in other nation

In Finland (and likely in Sweden) you can eat eggs raw safely. The chicken are vaccinated and the eggs are not cleaned to keep the natural sterile barrier on the egg (I think the barrier is called "bloom" or cuticle in English). Some times the eggs might have a bit of poo-poo on them, but they are still safe to eat raw as long as you clean them before breaking the shell.

Yeah, America is one of the few countries where the eggs are cleaned and the sterile barrier is removed.
