The skyrocketing price of octopus is weighing heavily on Japan, the world’s largest octopus consumer. The retail price exceeded that of tuna, a luxury fish. As domestic catches have declined, the country has been making up for the shortage by importing from Africa and other places, but prices continue to rise due to increased global demand, a weak yen, and rising transportation costs. The luxury of octopus, which is “in high demand around the world,” has begun to affect takoyaki, a taste enjoyed by the common people. Global demand increases and unit price exceeds that of tuna

Why did you tell a foreigner?

Just use squid.

Mini octopus.

Japan is a poor country.

Isn’t 650 yen for 10 pieces a bit expensive?
0007Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:20:59.45ID:QKDbWpcm0
Takoyaki with sausages is delicious.

Rise high and high.
0012Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:22:04.73ID:IHm5CSiQ0(1/3)
I wonder what cuisines around the world use octopus as a luxury item?
0014Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:22:11.46ID:Z+AAAUQL0
There’s a takoyaki shop that puts chikuwa instead of octopus in their takoyaki. Can I sue them?
0015Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:22:13.28ID:cPnoAzwl0
Thank you for the trouble.
0016Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:22:27.98ID:Sp7DgVWJ0(1/3)
Can’t you catch them in the coastal waters? I guess it’s not worth it.

Sashimi is expensive so I think octopus will be fine.

It’s the other way around. Octopus is more expensive than sashimi.
0019Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:23:04.65ID:tzpkpYb+0
People can be broadly divided into memory types and thinking types. You don’t need octopus. Grilled octopus without it is enough.

Who’s ripping us off? The agricultural cooperative? The fishing cooperative? The amakudari?

What the heck, octopus!
Put it on the pages of a magazine!

When we tried to teach people around the world how to eat it deliciously, we couldn’t eat it ourselves.

Exactly.
The idiot who made Japanese food popular around the world, and the idiot who made sushi popular around the world, have made it so that Japanese people can only eat meat.
0025Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:24:09.07ID:lVh7b20h0(1/4)
That sounds like a lie, it must be an attempt to take advantage of the takoyaki price hike.

If you consider the current situation, where we used cheap octopus from overseas in the past, it’s bound to go up.
Just looking at the rising prices on a global scale and the increase in transportation costs, it would be strange if prices didn’t go up.
0026Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:24:15.19ID:gtQ375Kt0
I just want to say it’s a pull.
0027Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:24:25.15ID:k89EafnS0(1/8)
Well, no matter what you do with imports, prices will inevitably go up due to transportation costs and high local prices.
0028Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:24:27.80ID:tuvG9ur30(1/2)
Americans don’t eat it, do they?

Huh? Haven’t you heard of the Detroit Red Wings’ octopus throw?

It’s octopus.

On the other hand, La Moo cost 100 yen for six pieces.

That line feels like a soup kitchen for day laborers.

I wouldn’t mind if I didn’t have it.

Conveyor belt sushi chains are expanding from overseas, inbound tourists with discerning palates are on the rise, and the yen remains weak as a side effect of Abenomics, so there will be wins and losses, but in the end, Japan is just scoring an own goal.
0036Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:26:25.77ID:iTTghnAc0(1/2)
Japanese people have been eating it for a long time, so why haven’t people overseas eaten it until now?

The Mediterranean countries have been eating it a lot for a long time.

I don’t think takoyaki necessarily has to be made with octopus.

It’s delicious even without adding anything.

The delicious takoyaki shop in my neighborhood has increased its prices from 30 yen per serving to 50 yen per serving in the last two years. If the price of octopus has increased too, it might go up again.
0039Anonymous Donburako.Oct. 24, 2024 (Thu) 21:26:37.63ID:6p3ln5B70
When I was a kid, 10 of them cost 100 yen. I hope the time will come when 10 pieces will cost 1,000 yen in my lifetime.

There is no time to wait as we become a nation based in aquaculture.

In a few years, Japanese people will likely be eating only bread and noodles.

Even if you put hard gummy candy in it, it wouldn’t be noticed lol.

Octopus can’t be farmed.
