Listen closely at 6:16 You can hear the song called “Back In Black” by AC/DC and then after that at 6:32 it sounds like “You Could Be Mine” by Guns & Roses(I may be wrong about that one). 6:56 is “Eye Of The Tiger” by Survivor. You have some good music playing over there 👍.. and the food looked delicious.

[@Meimoons]

Yeah they make their eggs differently in Japan.

[@restaurantman]

In Japan, Chicken eggs are generally safe to consume raw or partially cooked. Salmonella may only be present in eggs when the outer shell surface has been exposed to poultry fecal contamination. The eggs in shell are washed and sanitized before being sold. At the farm level - the Chickens are vaccinated against Salmonella, the feed is heated to kill Salmonella, and the coop houses are regularly disinfected. As a result, Salmonella occurrences are rare.
