Teikoku Databank announced on the 13th that the “price of curry rice” in June, calculated independently by taking into account the cost of ingredients and utility bills, rose to 329 yen per serving (an increase of 30 yen from the same month last year), the highest since 2015. This unique indicator condenses recent price hikes into affordable, delicious dining options, and the company predicts that prices will peak in July. advertisement Calculated based on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ “Retail Price Statistics Survey.” Specifically, it is assumed that six meals were cooked using half a bottle of commercially available curry roux, carrots, potatoes, onions, imported beef, rice (Koshihikari brand), and cooking oil. I also took into account the utility costs for cooking rice in a rice cooker. As a result, the breakdown of the cost of one meal in June was as follows: meat and vegetable ingredients cost 203 yen (20 yen more than the same month last year), rice cost 97 yen (8 yen more), curry roux cost 25 yen (1 yen more), and utilities cost 4 yen (no change), totaling 329 yen. According to the company, the weak yen has led to an increase in the price of imported beef, and vegetables have also increased in price by more than 100 yen per kilogram compared to the same month last year. The price of rice, which had been in short supply due to the extreme heat last year, also soared. Based on price trends in Tokyo’s 23 wards, the company predicted that the price of curry rice in July will be around 340 yen per serving, which is likely to rise further. “Data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries shows that prices of potatoes, carrots and onions “remained at average levels” in August, and there is some expectation of prices falling,” the company said. However, the prices of rice and imported beef are expected to continue to rise for the time being, and curry rice prices are expected to peak in July and remain at a high level this summer.

Dissolve the roux in hot water, put it on a bowl of rice, and add a raw egg for a luxurious meal. If you use a cheap roux, it will cost about 100 yen per meal.
>>26 It reflects the price trends of meat, vegetables, rice, and even utility bills, so it’s easy to understand (or so they think). When it comes to curry, most people will know the ingredients.
Well, you ignorant people probably don’t know this, but there is no curry powder in India. You guys don’t read so you probably don’t know about Yamaoka-san 😭.
If you’re cooking curry at home, beef is a waste because it gets tough. Pork loin, pork belly, chicken thighs, and chicken wings are safe choices. Beef that doesn’t get tough is better for other dishes.
Real wages have been falling for a long time, but stock prices and life satisfaction are at an all-time high, so anyone who complains about the LDP government is definitely an anti-Japanese traitor.
