Japanese rice and egg prices remain high, and the price of eggs continues to rise like a ship in the water when mixing them with rice.

According to the latest statistical data cited by Japanese media on the 27th, the prices of rice and eggs in Japan have both reached the highest level on record. Many Japanese people sigh that egg rice has become a "luxury", and they have to look for alternatives due to the rising prices of many ingredients. The statistics released by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries show that as of the week ending December 21st, the average price of a 5-kilogram bag of rice on the market was 4,337 yen, reaching a high above 4,000 yen for 16 consecutive weeks. Influenced by factors such as rising feed prices and the spread of avian influenza, the price of eggs in Japan has also risen. Data released by the large sales company "JA Zenno Egg" in Japan shows that the average wholesale price of medium-sized eggs in the Tokyo area this year is 324 yen per kilogram, hitting the highest level on record.
