1:00Now PlayingThis vending machine sells whale sashimi, whale bacon, whale blubber, and whale steak, as well as canned whale meat, in Japan.
It’s the 3rd “Kujira (Japanese for whale) Store” operated by Kyodo Senpaku Co.
The meat comes from whales caught off the Japanese coasts.
Japan resumed commercial whaling in July 2019, half a year after announcing it was withdrawing from the International Whaling Commission.
Conservationists say whale meat is no longer part of the daily diet of younger Japanese generations, who are more used to whale watching than eating them.
