Eggs can be pasteurized- aka heated to kill off bacteria such as salmonella - without cooking them. From a quick Google, in the US and Japan it should be standard to make this dish with such eggs as to be safe to eat. I can't speak to Brazil's food safety standards though- the chances of using pasteurized eggs could be a lot lower, however if it's a Japanese export/import, Japan takes such safety very seriously, so it's likely to be safe.
If you buy eggs preshelled in the US then they are required to be pasteurized - something like this would be good https://vitalfarms.com/pasture-raised-liquid-whole-eggs/
In theory you can pasteurize an egg in its shell, but they aren't very common round here.
