The rice packets have shrunk! First it was the soy that downsized from 1 litre to 750ml, now it's the rice. Last night in the supermarket the usually 5kg bags of rice have shrunk to 4.5kg.... Prices to farmers have not increased... increases to cover rising electricity bills? Profiteering? The end of deflation might not be a bad thing, but I am not sure this inflation reflects any kind of increase demand or economic growth...

You are a fountain of knowledge!
I think you should start a blog in English of pennypincher's guide to Japan. :)
Finally catching up with this week's blog posts.
If Abe becomes our next Supreme Leader, we may need to pay for 1 kg of rice with 5 kg of money. (>_<)
I think no matter who becomes the supreme leader the situation looks grim... I'm getting students to research policy decisions for homework and discuss whose vision most aligns with their own... (I am being generous to suggest that there is a vision aside from opportunism & power.)
