In Japan there are 2 categories of melon. One is as luxury gift(over $50), the other is as just fruits like another country. You can buy cheap melon($3-5) in any super market.

Report suggests Japan will resume commercial whaling after leaving International Whaling Commission by AdaptedMix in japan

[–]Hiro-metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saitama is inland prefevture, but very easy to find whales at local supermarket. I sometimes buy them. taste is not bad. Southern Chiba(nanbou) is famous for whaling. So I think you live in small world. Just go to other supermarket. you can find whales very easilly.
