Commercial whaling resumes whale curry tasting party Yamaguchi Nagato Oct 31 17:58
On the 31st, a tasting party was held in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and locals tasted whale meat curry, etc., in order to get to know the taste of Bryde's whales that began to circulate in the market due to the resumption of commercial whaling.
The tasting party was held in Nagato City, where whaling was once popular, and about 70 local people participated. Bitter whales, which began to be distributed in the market due to the resumption of commercial whaling in July, were used as ingredients.
This time, for people who are not good at the unique smell of Bryde's whales, the meat was soaked in liquor or ginger juice in advance or citrus fruit juice was applied.
One of the men who tasted said, “I tasted whales for the first time in a while. I am looking forward to resuming commercial whaling and continuing to eat it.”
Norio Nakamura, director of the Aburaya Central Public Hall in Nagato City, who was in charge of the venue, said, “Since fewer people knew the taste of whale meat, we had a tasting party. Whale food culture was triggered by the resumption of commercial whaling. I ’m glad that it spreads out. ”
