About Wakayama Whale

Taiji Town, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture is the birthplace of whaling in Japan. Whales are regulated by commercial whaling and have strict capture restrictions established by the government, so they are very valuable ingredients.
Whale meat is a low-fat, high-protein and very nutritious ingredient. You can enjoy various yukjira dishes such as sashimi, Tatsuta-age, and Hari Nabe.
Among them, “Tatsuta fried whale” is a local dish representative of Wakayama
