Photo taken yesterday (2025-02-08) at a supermarket in Kyoto, Japan.
Alt text: A picture of the eggs section in a Japanese supermarket. There's a 10-pack of eggs going for 215 Japanese Yen, which is about 1.42 US dollars.
The us has killed more than 15 million chickens just the last few weeks. Sometimes with foam. If other countries have to do that their prices will rise too. NHK had a great documentary recently about an egg family that was doing pasture raised eggs at $1 each.
Guess they shouldn't have kept the chickens in such horrifying conditions.
It's actually kind of funny, at Aldi the price of regular eggs doubled to like $4.50, but the price of the free range eggs went up like $0.50 to $5.75. It dawned on me that the reason my egg costs have not varied that much is because I was always buying the better eggs the whole time.
Free range means they put 100k of them in a giant warehouse vs. penning them.
Don't worry. All the savings on eggs are destroyed by 2000 yen strawberries. And rice is incredibly high right now, up about double in the last year.
2000 yen for strawberries? How much strawberry is that? I got a handful of strawberries for ¥862 today.
Yes, the rice is expensive.
I forgot that the us is one of the few countries that washes the eggs and as a result they have to be refridgerated, its weirs for me to just see them out on the floor at room temperature
It blew my mind visiting Europe and finding eggs in a supermarket that weren't in the fridge
I was convinced Japan also washed their eggs. I'm confused.
Also I'm curious about why Americans are really squeamish about people eating any egg products that haven't been fully sterilized by cooking, while others generally aren't scared of it, even if they're in a country that washes eggs just like the US.
In the US, people don't even taste their cake batter to check the amount of sugar before cooking it; in Canada, a summer isn't whole until you've made strawberry mousse (ingredients: strawberries, egg whites, sugar; eaten raw). Perplexing. Is it riskier in the US, or is the risk equally low everywhere but Americans are really paranoid?
IDK where in the US you are but I don't know anyone who is squeamish about raw egg.
You are actually significantly more likely to get cross contamination from an unwashed shell than from a properly stored washed egg.
As a Canadian I've never had mousse. Only raw egg consumed is in raw cookie dough and that is a calculated risk.
You're missing something!
Who in America doesn't eat cake batter‽ I always heard not to but never got sick so I never listened. Also our fat asses love raw cookie dough.
Japan also washes them. Just not all.
US here, I grew up in a township, part rural part suburban, on a farm and this was not a concern for most people out there but all my friends and their families from the suburban side were squeamish. I think it comes down to repeated misinformation reinforcing a fear.
Why would you wash them?
Because the conditions that the chickens are raised in promote growth of salmonella to such a degree that they need to chlorinate the outside and scrub & wash away the cuticle. The production model for chickens is so harsh that they can't keep themselves clean or care for themselves. And the chemical companies profit off the model so there is no incentive to make chickens happier or healthier.
They often end up with bits of stuff stuck to them while they're wet, like feathers, bedding, etc. Poop isn't uncommon either. The same people who won't buy salmon unless it has that freshly dyed pink color, and won't buy potatoes if they aren't universally convex, balk at the bits that remind them they come from a real place and aren't just summoned into existence for their sake. Washing the eggs takes off the bits but also the 'bloom' which is the natural barrier to bacteria and the like. Hence, refrigeration.
Because it came out of a chicken's but. Don't you wash your turds before you eat them? Jk, there's no good reason to do so.
What’s the average wage in $ in Japan compared to the states?

What’s cost of living like?
Really depends on the location, just as anywhere can vary in your home country/state/providence... But check this out https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/country/japan?currency=USD
This looks like Tokyo. Can't imagine spending 370k a month in Osaka or anywhere around.
damn look at this nice floor texture
Oh my gosh- you could eat off those!
Much of Japan is very very clean in general. People take a lot of pride in that!
