Just got back from Japan and I could get a full bowl of ramen and rice for like 10$. Back in america that's fucking 24$ at the minimum. Fuck I got a tempura combo with chashu and fried rice for 15$ that same shit is like $40.

>>21619634came here to say this
>>21619713he means the juice
>>21619633Why is Japanese food more expensive outside of Japan? That's a good question
>>21619716Yes that's what I meant.
>>21619633USA isnt a country, its a Jew-run plantation.
>>21619633The yen is weak and Japan has lower incomes than the United States. Labor costs are a big part of the price of restaurant food.
>>21619633It’s called stagflation retard. Take a Japanese history class baka gaijin!
>>21619633First of all, a 1/4 cup bowl of white rice isn't even worth $1. A bowl of soup with noodles under $10 in the US isn't uncommon, but a bowl of soup-of-the-day isn't ever $10, because it's a side dish, not a meal.I'd say the more common noodle bowl in the US is pho and it has a small and large portion, with the large more like $12, but it will have filet on top, not a sliver of roast pork, and half an egg.Shop better. Watermelon is $20 in Japan/thread
>>21619633dollar is headed towards hyperinflation
>>21619633Don't forget the mandatory tip in Burgerland.You are correct though of price. I went to Japan in the spring and I could get a dozen takoyaki within 1000 yen. Back in Burgerland, 6 takoyaki cost 12 Burgerbucks plus tip.Even fast food chains are cheaper in Japan. A Samurai Burger meal is still within 1000 yen, while back in Burgerland a Quarter Pounder meal is 12 dollars.It feels like the USD is weaker than the yen.
>>21619633Its almost like shutting down the entire economy for a whole year because of the flu was a bad idea
Buy food that's actually popular and mass produced in your county dipshit
>>21619633If it's not expensive how can you know it's good?
>>21619633>ramen and rice for like 10$Did you eat at the airport? That price is way too steep.The usual price is $8.At cheaper places, it's $6 and you can eat as much rice as you want.
>>21619879>Watermelon is $20 in JapanBecause only one plant is cultivated from each seedling.
>>21621788unless you're propagating with cuttings, that's usually how growing plants works.
>>21621792In other countries too, they leave only the best watermelon fruits and gently place each one on a stand to grow.Is the trick to lowering prices hiring immigrant slave labor?
>>21619633In America? I live in Eastern Europe and because yen keeps getting cheaper and cheaper, everyone is vacationing in Japan, and coming back in awe of how cheap the food is, esp sushi and ramen
>>21619633we are in a recession
>>21619633This is the standard in price by which all other prices are judged. The question you should be asking is why they have to charge less than normal (America) in Japan. Its not because your economy and currency are stronger, its because they're weaker.
>>21619633fed just cut interest rates again. why don't you take out a loan to buy some food?
>>21619633Tell me the price of picrel in Jappyland.
>>21619633>Why is everything so expensive in America?Because minimum wage was raised a few years ago without any productivity gains to back it up. Make the poor have more money, and the most likely outcome is prices of basic goods going up, because there's more cash to gouge. Everything else then shifts in relation: inflation and eventual currency devaluation (hopefully not all at once).
>>21619633Burgersharts won't get off their asses and cook, they'll bitch about the price but keep ordering doordash slop irregardless.
>>21619633Now try buying meat.
>>21619633Where do you live? Japanese food is pretty rare in America because there aren’t that many areas with large concentrations of Japanese people and thus more expensive. Other cuisines will have cheaper options though not as cheap as food in Japan.
It hard to fool Asian.https://youtu.be/XfUnAQcu99g
>>21619979dawg that was 5 years ago, something else is going on
>>21619633Money printing. Government Managerial regulatory cartels. Oversupply of labor from foreigners and women.
>>21619633Japan is getting to be almost as cheap as Thailand for a vacation.
>>21619633we dont haggle or look for better, but if two items are next to each other and one is evil and one is 3cents cheaper then we pick the 3cents cheaper one.
>>21619633The US currently has a president who not only doesn't care about rising food costs, he is enacting policies to make food even more expensive while making the citizens poorer so that he can get richer.
>>21624589Big Food can't keep getting away with this!
>>21619867Sure, Hans
>>21623047You guys subsidize on rice and water. Thats why you look puny.
>>21624610It's more complicated than that. There are like five Big Foods each with their own theme and motif and antithesis. One of the Big Foods is led by a pair of twins, and another by a girl.
>Why is everything so expensive in America?A divided society allows corruption to flourish. It’s a natural progression, like oil separating from water.
>>21624610It would be a funny joke 20 years ago>Enact tariffs and charge countries ridiculous amounts of money. Farmers now can't sell internationally and charge more for domestic products. Soy beans go from being one of the biggest exports to the entire world deciding to just not buy them. >Create an atmosphere of corruption and arbitrary decisions so companies are scared to hire or raise salaries, only raise prices on goods>Hunt down all the cheap labor and treat them like they are all murderers so food ends up rotting in the fields since there was no plan besides cruelty to non-white people
>>21624625>Try to insult a country while using the wrong high school level word
