this Japan series is made possible with the support of by food.com is this your first time having any char card yeah one two three oh you actually did it our Japanese cross country food tour has officially begun moving from Tokyo to the city of Sendai Sunday's no force in Daegu which is a Sendai watch TV Sendai is the largest city in the Tohoku region a city popular for delicacies that you can't find just anywhere today is all about the famous Japanese tradition of eating meat raw honestly it's not really my thing that I want to be eating but I'm gonna do it I don't know how it's anybody's thing today we're taking raw meats to the extreme concluding with the most dangerous food I have ever eaten raw chicken I am shocked that this food even exists so forget the stovetop and microwave today we're doing it raw in Japan [Applause] [Music] right now we are at our first location as her raw food tour kicks off here in Sendai I have traveled to over five different countries and of every place I've gone to Japan eats the most raw food we do like our raw foods last time I was here I tried Oh with you actually last time in Tokyo we tried like a big piece of raw beef just with a little bit of sauce but now we're gonna have the minced variety let's go downstairs to check it out welcome to cateura a restaurant specializing in raw beef dishes including their own raw beef on rice we are in the kitchen with mr. Daisuke Shoji sir thank you so much for having us today double handshake double handshake ultra respect all those people been eating raw beef in Japan historically speaking in Japan we haven't been eating raw meat just because it is dangerous great haha eating raw beef can be highly risky since it may contain bacteria like e-coli or Salmonella and both could prove fatal is it worth the risk yes that's 100% confident that was a big yeah what is so special about raw meat you know that you haven't gone oh you don't even need to translate that I felt that laughs I love beef yes I saw this laying around can you tell me about this one this is actually just sushi doesn't mean raw fish it means sour rice and it's the same rice used to make Rob even a Giri an oblong hand pressed mound of rice and a thin slice of raw be covered with a bit of wasabi and finally brushed with soy sauce please share in this moment with me Cheers oh boy she mmm so then surprisingly has a lot of layers for being so simple a little bit of wasabi and then just the salt on top of the soy sauce and wow that was a great appetizer thank you so much today we came especially for the UK a Japanese dish similar to beef tartare and cateura was the first restaurant in Japan to serve it to prepare the raw beef safely the restaurant first Blanche's a large cut of top round at a high temperature to kill any existing bacteria on the meat surface then they cut away the cooked section leaving only Christine and bacteria free raw beef that is perfectly safe to eat from here they mince the beef by knife adding an in-house sauce sesame oil and a mixture of vinegar and miso plate it top it with an egg yolk and garnish with cucumber green onions sesame seeds and a flower here we are we have this tiny and cute adorable creation for about $13 right yeah but before we eat it did you know that someone who's actually died eating this before really actually five people have died eating this this seems like folklore it actually happened in 2011 it was huge news all over Japan and because of that be forced lots of restaurants stopped serving it why are you so happy as you tell this story no not one person five of them dying it's not great let's do less thinking and more chewing [Music] nice break this is one of this gooiest foods I've ever tried yeah Wow Wow that's worth dying for it very creamy melty soft and the texture you know it's not just straight and minced it's like half chopped in half minced there's still a lovely texture in your mouth too from here when will we find out if we might die it won't be during this video our next stop Nambu izakaya a Japanese pub run by miss Lucinda Kanako since its inception seven years ago the afterword crowd can't get enough of her oh dang Japanese fish cakes and our next raw food delicacy shark heart we are here right now with Miss Conoco thank you so much for having us I'm told you have raw shark heart is this true she says yes with pride how many people are eating this shark hard to sum in Japan shark meat has a long list of health benefits not the least of which includes skyrocketing male libido but I'm sure it's good for other stuff too i love your restaurant i love the feeling here i can see that you have a heart and I can't wait to see you put your heart into making the shark heart [Music] shark me especially the organs have an intense ammonia aroma that needs to be flushed out over a couple hours and I smell it the meat itself is cut into thin slices and the arteries are chopped even more finely boom the raw shark heart what I like is that it's not just heart it's heart and valves what do you grab some just go from the hearts one two three oh you actually did it it's like a firm sponginess the flavor is not strong at all when you mix it with the sesame oil it's just kind of a rich smoky salty flavor but here we have valve and that's got to be easier right you were doing great at the beef part what happened I'm not an organ girl must be a lonely life let's try not the texture is completely different chewy oh it's so cloudy buddy the only thing I can compare it to is a penis fish I like it I like the texture it's a little funky and all you need on the side it's like a couple liters of sake to really bring it home or last stop today nee diamond since 2008 they have been serving a specialty that if prepared incorrectly can actually kill you I'm talking about raw chicken how many people in Japan have died from eating raw chicken I actually haven't heard of anyone dying at least hasn't become you know wild news or the raw chicken mafia just sweeps it under the rug they're serving it behind us let's go inside and figure out how this works mr. kicked out Kadena thank you so much for having us today hi are you terrified are you excited there's literally millions of people watching right now okie dokie onomatopoeia for your heart pumping oh okay here you have a couple special things on the menu first of all horse meat horse meat is a popular dish from Kyushu in southern Japan and it's actually more common than you would think eaten in Mexico Switzerland Indonesia I even tried some in Uzbekistan but Japan is the only place I've seen serve it raw and what separates horse meat from any other animal like beef or beef pork meat is completely different from eating raw beef you can enjoy this and not be afraid of dying hahaha that's something I really look for when I eat food it's like ah not dying mr. kata tried his first basashi when he traveled to Kyushu it was love at first bite and he's been serving fresh horse basashi ever since he cuts the meat into paper-thin slices served simply with a side of garlic miso paste and scallions let's go for it I love that a little more firm and then it has some interesting aftertaste it's a bit horsey what's the taste of horse it's hard to explain I mean it's heavy its robust did you guys try horse unless you like horses a lot but then you can still try it anyways and just don't tell the horse that was your friend our final dish raw chicken if any food kills me on this show it will be this one I mean I'm actually scared this time the Japan tour hasn't even started and it could be over already I am shocked that this food even exists I've been all over the world eating crazy stuff and honestly nothing scares me more than what we're about to try right now have you ever heard of someone getting sick from eating raw chicken it oh my soda can you tow it or you could have it a little cure number no hole those are the names of all the people who are dying this is a really common dish sir my life is in your hands and my bowels also in your hands let's do this hi [Music] the raw chicken achieves safe eating status using the same preparation method as the raw beef the outside chicken breast is briefly blanched killing any bacteria or Salmonella what remains is the raw bacteria free inside the chicken sashimi is sliced thin and spread on a plate like in a luring raw chicken flour raw chicken sashimi I am Doki Doki Doki Doki Doki Doki all right let's do this I'm just gonna try a point Wow adventurous I just want to get the full effect it looks like it was cooked rare let's do it let's do it wow that is actually surprisingly very good I like it like I am very pleasantly surprised I was ready for like a raw chicken texture but no it's kind of melt in your mouth it did anything but melt in my mouth it was stubborn okay I'm gonna try it with some sauce it's literally like eating sushi I can definitely tell I'm eating raw chicken it doesn't take me to like a different world or anything I'm so confused like all the flavors are there but my brain is so conditioned to not eat raw chicken that it's like mistake mistake mistake with every bite like hearing his explanation seeing his preparation and knowing that he thinks that he probably hasn't killed anybody that was enough for me to feel pretty secure Japan is one of the most strict regulated countries on earth but it's the same rigorous adherence to rules that makes unique foods like raw chicken or rosh or cart possible if you're traveling to Japan let me recommend
