Summary

He ordered ¥2,000 whale tail sashimi, considering deep-fried whale instead; the meat looked unusually dark and brown like beef. The whale tasted beef-like but rubbery, chewy, fatty, and unseasoned, with only two slices of actual meat. He found the lettuce more flavorful and rated the whale 6.2 out of 10.

Insight

Japan’s novelty-focused food content continues, but this unusual tasting produced only lukewarm approval.
