MEDIA RELEASE
An exciting new seafood experience comes to Byron Bay The world’s leading sushi restaurant Whalo-king is coming to Byron Bay. Whalo-king’s Byron Bay representative Mavis Anthony said the international seafood chain is expecting a warm welcome. “Byron Bay is known world-wide for its laid back, friendly people and we expect a Byron style welcome when we open later in 2009,” Mrs Anthony said. Whalo-king products with their unique flavour and nutritional benefits have delighted Japanese people since 1913. Although Whalo-king exports its unique products in cans all over the world, the Byron Bay Whalo-king will be the chain’s first fresh food outlet outside Japan and the flagship for several similar restaurants planned for Australia. All Whalo-king products are environmentally responsible, have a low carbon footprint and the highest nutritional value. In Japan, Whalo-king is committed to serving the community and this commitment will be reflected in Whalo-king’s community engagement locally. “Our company believes in supporting the communities that support us and our involvement with community groups in the Byron Shire will grow over time. We expect Whalo-king to be as popular with local people as those who visit our lovely area,” Mrs Anthony said.
Our
corporation is guided by the philosophy of Kaizen - continuous
improvement. Whalo-king respects people and the environment. We want
to make the highest quality and most economic nutrition and useful
by-products available to everyone on a planet with limited
resources.
To be rooted in the community was the philosophy of Whalo-king's founder Colonel Okada and is alive today in Whalo-king's outstanding community partnerships. As
sponsor of the Nagasaki Mermaids, Japan’s hottest synchronised whale
swimmers, Whalo-king supports aquatic artists and makes it possible
for disadvantaged youngsters to experience the joy of swimming with
whales, cheered by an appreciative public. A little boy's dying wish comes true Five-year-old Nagasaki boy, Hideki Ikebana's last wish came true thanks to Whalo-king. When President Motoya Okada learnt that this little boy, stricken with a fatal disease, expressed a dying wish to swim in the company of whales Okada wasted no time. He made sure that little Hideki's wish was granted! Just in time the boy was able to swim with the Nagasaki Mermaids and be close to the majestic creatures he loved.
Whalo-king and the environment
Cutting edge Whalo-in-Viva™ technology uses the same action as a
predator's teeth.
Whalo-king is guided by the ancient Kojiki text from 8th Century Japan: “There's nothing to throw away from a whale except its voice.” So everything is used. As well as the life-giving meat, Whalo-king encourages the manufacture of cosmetics, clothing, wetsuits, shoes, leotards and even furniture from whales. Whalo-king inspectors assess a beached whale carcass in Tasmania, Australia. If the eyelids of the whale are open, this is usually the sign of a good salvage opportunity.
Endorsing sustainable ocean resource harvesting, Whalo-king would like to establish research synergies with Tasmanian Government and wood-chipping partners. All Whalo-king chopsticks come from renewable forest.

Whalo-king has a proud history of healthy, clean, nutritious seafood product ever since 1905. Founder, Colonel Ichiro Okada fortified his troops with nutritious beluga steaks during the Russo-Japanese conflict. In the peaceful time before the Great War, Colonel Okada established a simple sushi stand in Tokyo. The quality of its seafood was legend and before long the leading families of Japan were its patrons. In the 1930s as Imperial Japan grew in influence, the Colonel’s son, Takashi adapted Norwegian whale meat canning technology. An honorary Aryan, Takashi was frequent visitor to Berlin. Germany’s vegetarian leader recognised the nutritional value of this unique meat and Takashi was awarded the Eiserne Kreuz (Second Class) for his services. Well known for helping solve post WW2 food shortages in Japan, Takashi became a hero in his homeland too. Even then, his sights were set firmly on the success of Australia’s whaling industry. In 1951 the company opened its second outlet in Nagasaki. Colonel Okada’s presence is still alive. Whalo-king is lead by Okada’s sometimes controversial grandson, Motoya who in 1996 created vegetarian whale meat. It is Motoya’s vision to fulfil his late grandfather’s and father’s dreams of establishing a Whalo-king outlet in Australia at Byron Bay. For this Motoya has attracted considerable investment interest and wide community support. Whalo-king is a prosperous multi-level, trans-national corporation. Its shareholders are drawn from many nations including Japan, Norway and Australia, where investors include ethical superannuation investment funds.

Both male and female killer whales are promiscuous and will attempt to unite with other species. This behaviour has had a marked effect on whale populations in recent times. Whales
will often mate for life, though some species are promiscuous, most
notably the killer whale which has been known to attempt union with
dolphins and sea snakes and even humans when kept in capitivity.
