lets count!
Japanese ppl eat 50kg of rice per capita per year?*
price of 1kg of rice in tokyo $4.33**
so rice expenditure was $216.50/year? now up 60% to $346.40? a $130 increase?
the poorest 7% of households made under 1m yen?***
so thats about $6500? so a 2% or less hit to all but the poorest 7% of Japanese households.
median is 4-5m yen..lets pick 4.5m for convenience..so around $30k..n $130 is less than half a percent of household income.
i don't know where's the threshold for rounding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
