Also, what with the eggs? Isn't it extremely dangerous to eat eggs raw, because of salmonella or some shit like that?

It helps if you're a mythological being and likely immune to salmonella, I imagine.

I've heard the risk is like one egg in tens of thousand could be contaminated so technically it's a risk, but really you could probably eat like an egg a day you're entire life and never encounter a single bad one.

In modern day agricultural surveillance and ultra-hygienic enviroment? Maybe. In mythical medieval japan which Gensokyo basically is? Might be different.

Obligatory.

Very likely; besides the obvious Rocky references, this doujin is an updated remake of one of Karaagetarou's earlier works.

is it a sarcasm?, because If you say Yes, I will feel old.

Non coagulated proteins are best proteins. Organism don't have much problem with diggesting them raw. When proteins gets coagulated, you get major jumblo-mumblo in several shades of chaos - instead of nice, big strands of natural proteins. And egg white is one of best proteins in general. It's pretty common for body builders to drink eggs like this, to get muscles faster.

So, maybe eating chicken raw or any meat might be risky, it's healthier. Well, some people in China died to bird flu because of this (seems like some of them enjoy raw chicken). But you can see people everywhere in the world enjoying sushi. Where skin of salmon is basically paradise for bacteria.

When I was working on sushi line in major company, the precautions you had to take to make EVERYTHING clean were just insane. And it was still contaminated in one way or another. After freezing it with nitrogen and so on...

I don't know how hand made product in Poland sold in Japan can be profitable, but oh well. Leading company is leading.

This. I've eating raw eggs since 3 months ago with the authorization of my doctor (yes, he said me the risk is pretty low, still there's a risk) and I've been fine.

My tip is add some mexican sauce (that type that you put on chips, the red one) and some drops of lemon juice and gulp it down without breath.

'ultra-hygenic', have you seen an industrial farm in action? There is nothing hygienic about it. Animals aren't their biggest product by a mile, shit and piss are.

In fact older small scale or family farms have notably less contamination risk in a number of ways.

Regarding eggs and Salmonella specifically their are two main vectors one is that it can come from inside an infected hen, and even 'organic' chickens are in no way immune, but the risk comes largely via poor upkeep since it's transmitted to them from other animals and waste and proper and regular cleaning and maintenance minimizes the risk of infection. Something more likely to occur in a small family run hen house then a ten million strong chicken factory.

Organic or 'classic' farms though are also less vulnerable to certain other vectors that come as side effects of industrial scale farming via cross contamination. A very large recent recall in the US for instance resulted from the discovery that a large lot of chicken feed had been contaminated during production and then distributed infected scores of birds and then people due to the huge, wide ranging distribution system. (chickens are also, unfortunately, asymptotic carriers of the illness meaning it's very difficult to detect an outbreak before people start getting sick. Trying to test millions and millions of birds continuously is impractical for numerous reasons). Other risks are dirty handling and shipping facilities and improper storage during long trips to market. Again all of these risks are rather mitigated when 'handling' involves picking up individual eggs by hand and transport tends to be, at most, down the road to a village market in a basket of some sort, and the feed is almost certainly sourced locally in small lots.

Late reply is pretty late but...

I'll preface this because I don't know all the details about eggs and egg processing but I do have a ballpark idea. It depends largely on where you live. when a chicken lays an egg its sanitary and is covered in something that keeps germs out. So any contamination will sit on the surface. So touching a contaminated egg and then touching food will contaminate food since the germs are on the shell but not in the egg. However in America eggs go through a washing process which cleans most of the contaminated eggs but also removes that protective coating. This means that if a contaminated egg slips through the bacteria gets inside the egg and multiplies like crazy there.

This makes eggs in America safer to handle or transport etc but eggs that aren't washed are safer to eat raw since the bacteria can't penetrate the shell as easily.
