To me this way better than the Indian tribe in the NW that went on a whale hunt "because it was their ancestral right". they let the majority of the meat rot.

Having lived in Japan, I can say that whale meat accounts for virtually none of the fish/meat on the market.
You can get it, but it's rare and expensive. It's also really stringy, kind of tough, and doesn't taste very good.
The only people who eat it more than once are rich old folk who are nostalgic for the taste because it's what they served in schools after the war when other meat wasn't available.
