Unmanned vending machine store "Whale Store" Tsukishima Nishinakadori
Next to the sailor laundry shop in Nishinakadori shopping street in Tsukishima, "Unmanned vending machine store" Whale Store "was opened. It was opened in mid-August. It is a vending machine for rare whale meat products.
Is a valuable protein source whale a sustainable SDGs?
Many years ago, I have learned about the usefulness of whales.
If you catch within the quantity limit by sustainable fishing method, there is no problem with resources, and recently whales have appeared in Osaka Bay and Tokyo Bay. Above all, it is very important for fishermen to pass on fishing methods forever, and I think it is important to learn about food culture and understand that there is such a way of eating.
I believe that this is sustainable fishing and is consistent with the SDGs philosophy.
Most people don't know the "whale's tail"? 50 years ago, I remember that the "tail body" that I ate at a red lantern shop in Umeda, Osaka was 2,000 yen for one stamp, but this vending machine can purchase it at a price that is appreciated.
