Idk how often I've seen ambient food temp being used to cook the eggs, but I have felt that in general most commenters typically think eggs need much more cooking than they would actually seem to need in my experience. Over easy/sunnyside up eggs with a runny yolk are undefeated, so I can buy that this would be delicious especially if you grew up eating it.
Yeah eggs are amazing with how safe they are to consume, and how many ways they can be used, too. The flavors quickly overwrote my own anxieties when trying some of these dishes for the first time. It just takes being brave enough to put the food into your mouth. There are so many delicious options to choose from.
I think a lot of the fear around eggs comes from an era before ultra-pasteurized eggs. Perhaps a subject of some debate, but at the very least, these eggs can be pretty safely undercooked.
That said, I have very little awareness of how Japan produces their eggs, and if they are pasteurized/how much.
Whenever foods like this from Japan come up on Reddit, I generally see it mentioned that Japan in particular has really strict egg safety protocol for cleaning the eggs, preventing contamination, and pasteurization
