Prices of fruits and vegetables in the Japanese market

In this article, we will examine the price of some products found in Japanese markets. However, the products that we are going to see in this article are found in small town markets, which are usually much cheaper than in cities like Tokyo and provincial capitals. The photos and prices that we are going to examine here were from a small market in Shiga Prefecture, I can't determine the name and location.

The visit to the small market took place in the month of October at the end of summer and beginning of autumn. It is important to know this because the prices of vegetables and fruits vary according to the season. The prices will be converted with the quotation of the day 03/29/2017 - 100 yen = 2.82 reais.

In the market I also found the price of some meats ranging from 250 to 600 yen a tray. I also observed several other products that the native Japanese who lived in Kyoto and Osaka said to be very cheap. This shows that it is possible to find things at a good price, just walk around and look. I regret not having taken more pictures of this market, in the future we intend to analyze more prices.
