A chef slices a raw beef liver at a restaurant in Tokyo June 28, 2012. While Japan has a reputation as the home of sushi and sashimi, one item is about to be taken off the menu as Japan's government looks to ban the popular dish of raw liver in sashimi style. The dish, which consists of raw beef liver sliced up into bite-sized chunks and then served with onions and sauce, had become a popular dish across the country. Picture taken June 28, 2012.
