Why?? What the hell do they even use it for???
Edit: from the article, just for food and to preserve “traditional Japanese food culture.” Tradition is dumb. Literally just peer pressure from ghosts.
I’m gonna do this to my great-great-grandkids.
“Woo-oooh put down the pepsicola and pick up the africola. Woo-ooh!”
Someone commented elsewhere it’s not even popular and govt expanded it to vending machines to promote sales. Im betting to get ready for food based animes promoting whales meat.
What the fuck?? Is it just a jobs program for like one district in Japan or something?
Waiting for an isekai like “Hunting Murder Whales in Another World.” Or just Dungeon Meshi but like, whales only.
Stop eating the sentient fucking creatures!
Ffffffffuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkkkkk
I hate this so much. There is no need to do it. None whatsoever.
Reminds me of when Japan was the big boogeyman and stories about their whale hunting got a lot more negative attention.
Key point in the article is this:
On a visit to the former Tsukiji fish market area in downtown Tokyo, Yuuka Fujikawa from Hokkaido, said she has hardly seen whale meat sold at supermarkets. “I’ve actually never tried it myself,” she said.
I’ve never seen it in the supermarket and I’ve only seen whale meat at a restaurant once (whale bacon, it was called, and it was literally fishy bacon. I can see why nobody is fucking buying that shit)
The industry is dying (rightfully) and you have a bunch of people trying to keep it afloat.
