I don`t doubt it. There are countless restaurants around here too... But I`m guessing the おつまみ culture is different in some way. It seems that whale really is a staple for old drinking guys. I don`t know anyone under 50 who actually eats it though, and it really never seems to be used in actual cooking.
The most whale meat I`ve ever seen in one place was in Tokyo station a couple years back though. One of those souvenir shops was literally stocked from floor to ceiling with whale something or other.
