When I visited Parche Food Market inside Shizuoka JR Station to buy ingredients for dinner (my better/worse half having “ordered” a seafood Gratin), I thought I might as well as take a couple of picks to prove that whale meat is ordinary fare down here.
The whale meat had already gone, but whale bacon was still available.
Reading the label, it said the whales wre caught in Northwestern Pacific. Bacon is very popular here and can be eaten at izakaya.
Plenty of dolphin meat was avalaible. This particularly came from Gunma Prefecture.
Dolphin meat is regularly served at Primary School lunches in Shizuoka Prefecture. The meat comes from dolphins who were accidentally caught in nets, or culled because of growing numbers (like hunters do with deer in the US)
