Eating whales in Tokyo



Kujiraya is near JR Shibuya Sta.

We have few chance to eat the whales.

However, we know it eats the whale as a culture.
We know the place to eat.

We know the whale to be smart.
However, there are a lot of humans who do not know the whale is protected too much and the number of fish in the neighboring waters has decreased.
Many people eat Sushi all over the world.

Need keep fish to taste Sushi.

The Japanese is not doing the whale flesh as taking the place of beef.
Only as for it, I want you to understand.
