I wanted to try a japanese dish called tamago kake gohan, it's basically raw eggs mixed with rice. The problem is that I'm scared to get salmonella from it. Do you guys think it's safe to eat them? I'm currently living in Brazil. Also, I saw this article telling that the brand I buy my eggs from is exporting to Japan, would this mean they're salmonella-free?

People eat raw eggs all the time. Have you ever done mayonaise or chocolate mousse ? it's made of raw-eggs. In most of the first world, salmonella isn't an issue, there is strict food safety norm making sure any salmonella case would be caught quickly before eggs/meat make it into the store.
