I can`t say that it`s eaten all that much around here either, but it does exist on every menu at every izakaya / ippin-ryouri place I`ve ever been to.
It`s like the otsumami of choice among the older men.

Like almost everything else, you remind me that things are different in Kansai. I have heard of schools where the staple meat is whale, but I would think that is the exception, not the rule.
Ronin, we get it. You want whalers dead. Keeping saying it doesn't bode for reasonable debate.
