Blaine's latest from Japan is an A1 story about the Japanese govt's decision to continue whaling, despite opposition from the US and Australian govts.
For his reporting, he went to a restaurant in Tokyo that specializes in whale dishes and sampled minke whale sashimi and chicken-friend whale chunks. It was, he says, meaty and tasty - not not fishy.
Here's a news photo of whale meat.
What makes the story interesting (I think) is that it presents the very Japanese view that whales are seafood and shouldn't be distinguished from other sea life when it comes to dinner. Many Japanese simply don't understand why Americans or anyone else could object to their choice of meat.
