Okay, so it looks like our main character eats her egg on the side, but the cookbook recipe was for the raw egg in the rice, so I did both. And of course, miso soup. Ready to start the day!
It's also really tasty, and egg production is extremely well regulated in Japan, so there really isn't a risk of raw eggs being dangerous to eat there. For people with their own chickens, this also isn't a problem, as you'd likely know if your bird was sick.
