Eating whale was also part of Western culture too. (Europeans and Americans hunted whales up untill the early 20th century... where do you think the tale Moby Dick comes from?)

And if it's a part of Japanese culture then let the Japanese hunt whales with the tools they used back in the day.

If I remember correctly... the medeival Japanese didn't have steel boats and grenade tipped harpoons.
