The purpose of this study is to establish what kind of goat meat preparations are eaten in Korea (Republic Korea) and the southern parts of Japan (Okinawa and Amami).
In Japan, goat dishes have been eaten only in these districts, but in Korea the dishes have been eaten all over the country.
In Korea and Japan they are eaten by people in their thirties and forties.
In Korea, however more women and young persons have eaten them than in Japan. The frequency with which they are eaten is much the same in both countries.
The reason they eat goat dishes is that the dishes are healthy and delicious.
It is concluded that in Japan they prefer goat soup, whereas in Korea they prefer baked goat meat.
