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!
If you have psyched yourself out of eating fresh raw fish, then you have psyched yourself out of eating fresh raw fish.

It's all mental.
