If you are eating raw fish, wouldn't you want it to be as fresh as it can be?

They will try anything
I remember a scandal with Onsen's using "natural" spring water.
Definitely that Freshness seems so important for most Japanese, but you wouldn't get that near my moth in that state of motion.
I was at a traditional Kyoto Izakay one Staurday night with a senior male Japanese friend, and for the occassion, the Izakaya owner served us a complimentary plate of raw chicken Sashimi.. YUK!
Of course being polite, I held my breath, my beer flooded mind, and downed a few pieces with a further quick swish of Kirin.
It took me to the bathroom silently bringing it all up..
It was the thought more than the taste!
