Updates

First published October 25, 2026. The Japanese site’s top price strip periodically rechecks official data. If the format changes or retrieval fails, it retains the last checked price and period. The English candidate shows a dated snapshot; check each item’s period and original source.

Kerosene is a filling-station retail price, not a delivered price including delivery charges. Cabbage is priced per kilogram, not per head.
