We all know what it’s like to grab a sandwich, drink or something sweet from a vending machine on the way to and from work. The food is unabashedly predictable, but that’s not the case in Japan, as local Japanese newspaper The Mainichi reports (according to Sky News), a vending machine in the country now offers bear meat.
Apparently this meat is harvested from wild bears.” locally caught” and is available day and night. It is noted that the meat is hunted in the mountains by a local hunting club and then processed in a slaughterhouse before reaching the vending machine, with hunting usually only taking place during hunting season.
As for how much money it costs to buy bear meat from the vending machine, it would cost 2,200 yen, which equates to around £13.
For those wondering about the logistics of supplying a city with locally caught bear meat, the distributor is said to sell about 10-15 packs of bear meat per week and the supply is the main reason why no more units of bear meat are sold. .
