Whale meat is actually very cheap and used to be a beef substitute in Japan during the 70’s and before. They used to have whale burgers. It’s an extremely cheap meat, and easy to catch. The Japanese can argue that whale hunting is a cultural practice, seeing that it was common in some parts of Wakayama.
