I can't figure out why it's so hard to get lamb in Japan.

There used to be a placed called "Hitsuji-ya" near Yoyogi. Other than
that...

Easy to find in Hokkaido, albeit mostly imported from New Zealand.
Could just be a matter of consumer preferences? Most people in
Hokkaido don't seem to mind the smell, whereas many in the south seem
to have convinced themselves (without actually trying lamb) that they
won't like it. I can easily buy frozen lamb online for the bar, but
can't find it in any of the local shops, with the exception of the
"Brazilian" ones.

And for some reason, though duck is common in restaurants, I had a hard
time finding it at the stores...

Is that a Shikoku thing perhaps? My local Seiyu supermarket (walmart
unfortunately) has no whale, but duck by the proverbial flock. In
winter at least.

Tokyo was the same way, though whale wasn't quite so common. Well, there
was Shibuya's Kujira-ya. Is that still there?

Don't have to do a search for this one; are you kidding? They're probably marketting each lunch set as "Contains 110% of your lifetime requirement of
mercury"
