Not in Tokyo, so I can`t really speak for things around there... But here you`d be hard pressed to find any 居酒屋 or 一品料理店 that doesn`t at least have 鯨ベーコン on the menu. It`s even on the local karaoke place menu.
Does anyone buy it and eat it? I have no clue, but it`s there. Maybe it`s a popular おつまみ in these parts? It isn`t really used in normal cooking, just as a small side dish.
It`s also sitting back behind the fish in pretty much every grocery store I`ve paid attention in.
We once bought a pack on sale, and it tasted like complete and total crap...
