Mutsuko Onishi, serving her famous Osaka whale noodles, said she wants to see the moratorium lifted for the sake of her cooking. "When the ban began, it became really difficult to buy good whale," said Onishi, who has prepared whale for over 40 years. "Now we only get the leftovers from the research hunts.
