Domestic measures such as gasoline subsidies and electricity/gas assistance have been implemented, yet many citizens still experience strain. When a government simultaneously commits a multi-trillion-yen package abroad, the public naturally asks whether the same urgency is applied to Japan’s own cost-of-living pressures.

Pensioners and workers on lower wages in rural areas, however, are going backward as the cost of living increases. Although support for Takaichi’s premiership remains high following a resounding electoral victory that saw her win a supermajority in the Lower House in February, opinion polls show prices remain the top public concern.

Workers produced more. Companies got more efficient. But the average person’s buying power didn’t move with it. A short streak of better numbers after a long lag doesn’t erase that. Prices are still elevated. Rents in the big cities keep climbing. The weak yen is still making imports more expensive. Most households still feel the squeeze. A few green months look good in a headline. They don’t mean daily life suddenly got easier. The real issue was never one or two monthly reports. It was that productivity gains kept flowing more to the system than to the people living in it. A short recovery doesn’t close that gap.

It's because ingredient and container procurement costs are rising due to the weak yen and the Middle East situation, and they can't pass on the tax reductions directly to the prices.

Bento shops in areas near stations or schools already have razor-thin profit margins, and I don't think they have much room to absorb these external cost increases.

Behind those numbers, small and medium-sized businesses are being crushed by inflation, rising labor costs, social insurance premiums, and the consumption tax. The consumption tax is not levied on profit. It is levied on sales. Even if a business is in the red, it still has to pay the tax as long as it has sales.

Japanese young people work so hard, however only to find themselves less rewarded, both mentally and financially.
