    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.

      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.
