According to the latest survey of 195 major food companies in Japan by a Japanese research agency, it is estimated that the price increase in Japan in September will reach 4,923 types of food, about three times that of the same period last year. This is another time since April 2025 that the number of price increases in a single month has surpassed 4,000. In response, Japanese businessmen believe that the combination of high oil prices and the depreciation of the yen has increased inflation in Japan.
