Whale bacon

Whale meat is served in sushi restaurants, but as it is very expensive and also not everyday meal in Japan, please take consideration and respect if it is served to you. It is Ok to say no thank you for the dish without explaining that you're allergic, it is against your religions or you forefathers in 20 generations have never tasted any kind meat at all.

Whale-Kujira bacon has very unique and fatty taste, it melts in your mouth very easily.

Hakodate:It is a town for which I was indebted for an infancy age and several years.
It is the paternal country.
To me in Tokyo in a neglecting class in the one with very unusual snow
I always remember the snow outside the window being seen.
Moreover, it is because of not becoming accustomed to coldness.
It makes it to the side of the stove for the seat.
The cheek was reddened.
Mannenbashi elementary school. And, all.
Thank you!!
