Eating whale-meat is part of Japanese culture, but the opportunities for doing so have become rare since a moratorium on commercial whaling was adopted at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1982. A survey of 274 undergraduate students (105 male and 169 female) born in or after 1982, was conducted in order to investigate their experience of eating whale-meat and their impressions of it. About 60 percent of those questioned had eaten whale-meat, and the males showed a higher preference for it than the females. The most popular whale-dishes were whale- meat marinated in soy sauce, deep-fried (tatsuta-age), boiled whale breast meat (kujira be-kon), raw (sashimi) and whale-cutlets (also deep-fried). Among the students who had eaten whale-meat, about 70 percent had done so at home, and 30 percent in school lunches. Among the impressions expressed were: “Whales are enormous mammals that live in the sea” ; “Whale-meat used to be very cheap and was served in school lunches, but it is expensive and very rare now.” The students who came from Yamaguchi Prefecture had more experience of eating whale-meat than the others.
