While most eggs are considered unsafe to eat when raw, there’s a scientifically interesting reason eggs are generally safe to eat raw in Japan.

Eggs are refrigerated in Japan all the time (edit: as in regularly not literally 100% of the time; bad word choice on my part). Source: years living in Japan and every supermarket I go to. There are always far more refrigerated than not.
I think (at least some) are refrigerated in route to stores during distribution, but I’m not sure on any numbers here
I’ve lived here for over a decade and I’ve seen them not refrigerated more often than not. But, it could also be where we tend to shop.
This is very true. I’m mostly shopping in Tokyo supermarkets.
