Went out for dinner and drinks with fellow youtube user DallasInTokyo to thank him for fish-watching while I was on vacation. There was a three style meat tataki platter which had chicken, pork and beef, all seared on the outside but still ice cold and raw on the inside. An interesting thing to try, but probably wont again anytime soon.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST trying this except in a restaurant that you trust deeply. As raw chicken and pork can be VERY dangerous. But when in Japan...
Also, a little footage from a comedy show that I performed at later that night.

raw chicken? yuck
I would never in my life eat raw chicken. Ever. Even for a million bucks.
Pork is usually frozen to kill any worms, chicken may or may not be frozen if properly raised. The outer surface is lightly brazed to kill germs that develop during thawing or if the meat was left out.
The raw portion exposed to air is free of bacteria... as long as you don't wait too much before eating.
If you want to try Ostrich sashimi too, I can introduce you to a place in jingumae.
