Eecon#6　Seven, rice balls for 100 yen - limited sale for 4 days due to rising rice prices.

 Seven, rice balls for 100 yen - limited sale for 4 days due to rising rice prices.

　　　　　　　



On the 2nd, Seven-Eleven Japan announced that due to the surge in rice prices, they will hold a discounted sale on rice balls for four days from the 11th to the 14th. This applies to stores nationwide, and some products will be priced at 100 yen before tax. It will be the first time since August 2020, approximately five years ago, that they are sold for 100 yen.

The assortment varies by sales area, but we offer around 40 items at sale prices, including "hand-rolled rice balls", "specialty rice balls", and "sushi". Products that normally cost up to 170 yen (excluding tax) will be reduced to 100 yen, while those priced between 171 yen and 200 yen will be sold for 150 yen. Items priced between 201 yen and 300 yen will be available for 200 yen.


I feel grateful for the news of the price drop since the convenience store rice balls have been getting more expensive. In the midst of rising rice prices, implementing a significant price cut will be a relief for many people.

    With rice prices rising, it is good to be able to buy at these prices. I found that each convenience store has various initiatives in place.

Eecon#5　Kewpie to increase prices on 118 items.

イメージ
  ～450g of mayonnaise is 559 yen～ Kewpie announced on the 26th that it will raise prices of a total of 118 items, including mayonnaise and dressings, by approximately 4 to 18%. This is due to rising costs of raw materials like chicken eggs, packaging costs, processing costs, and labor costs, making it difficult to absorb the increased costs through their own efforts. Mayonnaise products are subject to 30 items, and for a 450-gram product, the reference retail price will rise from 520 yen to 559 yen including tax. Dressing products include 27 items, while food for nursing care includes 52 items. Seasonings and ingredient foods will see price increases starting from shipments on September 1, and foods for nursing care will see increases starting from shipments on October 1. The Kewpie products I buy are not just mayonnaise, but also dressings, so as someone living alone, the price increase is very tough. I sincerely hope that the financial situation will improve, and the prices will ...

 A Taiwanese semiconductor design startup is making aggressive moves in the deployment of AI specialized products. Neuchips is collaborating with manufacturers that develop enterprise PCs and software to leverage its developed chips, proposing ways to use generative AI on the terminal side. They are also looking to expand into the Japanese market.  Neuchips' 'Raptor' is a 7-nanometer process processor characterized by its energy-saving patented technology. By utilizing the expansion device 'Viper' that can be installed on motherboards equipped with this, you can use generative AI functions. It can handle LLMs (large language models) with 14 billion parameters at just 45W.  Expansion into the Japanese market is also anticipated.
