Price hikes in Japanese food markets are not good ？.

The prices at markets that claim to offer "passionate prices" and the like are in an "all-you-can-eat" state. In Japan, people seem to be willing to raise prices even by a few percent, but Japanese foodstuffs at this market have doubled in price from a little while ago, or even increased by 100 percent, without hesitation. I guess they are trying to make up for the loss of revenue caused by the Corona disaster, but the fact that the number of shoppers has not decreased even at these prices suggests that sales are much higher than before the Corona disaster and revenue is increasing.
Even for locally manufactured and sold products, which should not be so expensive in terms of transportation costs and raw materials, the local Japanese and Japanese-Americans end up buying them no matter how expensive they are, so I feel that they are setting absurd prices in a state of so-called "hiked prices". ？
Of course, they are relatively modest in raising prices for necessities and prominent products because they would be exposed if they raise prices all at once, but even so, they raise prices many times in a short period of time.
When the store first opened after the acquisition, there were parts where I could see the business attitude of a Japanese company with the concept of cheap sales, but I wonder if they are changing their business attitude to one where they carry everything on a large scale, but the prices are high, but you buy it because you need it anyway ？. ？ For those of us who eat mainly Japanese food, I was complaining about the business that makes me want to boycott them, which I cannot do even if I wanted to.

Yes, I can understand if the good ones are expensive, but I don't like it when the same ones cost so much. Some things are 50% more expensive than others, which is horrible.

What is the item that is 50% more expensive ？ Name the item
Cookies ？ Japanese stores have a fast turnover so they have the current higher cost of procurement and Hmart has the old old cost so they are $1 cheaper.
But if you think about it, it's because the cost of purchasing, labor, etc. has gone up, and there's no way a store would just raise their prices
If you say that, food truck tacos, dim sum, Chinese ToGo fast food, and even Japanese fast food all went up 50% or more
. Even gas stations, even if they are far away and crowded, you can get in at a cheaper place. Even grocery stores can be changed. There are too many noisy old ladies.

You all say N-market organic, but is N-organic USDA Certified ORGANIC ？ No, it's not.　It's the N standard organic. I am not sure how good it is. Lately, the level of meat there has gone down and it's tough and hard to chew. That's why I go to T. It is true that C- and k-type cookies are cheaper in Japan. But C-types are dusty and pull.
Topix is a N's man ？ It is true that the price is getting higher, but T's cookies are 50 cents cheaper than the other two companies for the same cookie.
The recently opened K-type wagyu beef is hard and inedible.

If you don't like it, buy it somewhere else.
I'm not in business as a volunteer.
That's all.
