Wearing a whale-shaped hat, Kyodo Senpaku President Hideki Tokoro greeted prospective customers at the firm’s latest “unmanned store” – a trio of vending machines in Motomachi, an upmarket shopping district home to fashion boutiques and artisan bakeries. The firm has recently set up two similar outlets in Tokyo, plans to open a fourth in the western city of Osaka next month, and hopes to grow to 100 locations over the next five years.
Whale meat consumption in Japan totaled just 1,000 tonnes in 2021, compared with 2.6 million tonnes for chicken and 1.27 million for beef, government data showed.

Murderers!!! Leave whales alone!! Humans kill enough animals to eat! There is NO need to murder such beautiful animals!!!

You lost me with vending machine sashimi. Made from a mammal
Stop killing whales!. 😡
