    Really difficult to believe this is anything other than made-for-social-media scripted for clicks.

    Edit: for you non-believers (or is it believers?):

    “The image used in the posts originally comes from a blog promoting tourism in Japan’s Shizuoka prefecture: [same pic we see]

    What you’re looking at there isn’t so much “medium rare chicken,” as it is more chicken tataki; chicken seared over hot coals and served largely raw. A dish prepared with the same techniques ordinarily used for fish in eastern cuisine.“

    So yeah. /thathappened.

      I’ve eaten this “torisashi” in Kagoshima before. Didn’t mind it, I was always curious about what rare chicken would taste like.

      HOWEVER: the raw chicken served in Japan isn’t regular chicken. The birds are slaughtered and prepared in a very specific way so that bacteria are kept in control.
