Eating Expensive Dessert in Japan 🇯🇵

Only 8? I was expecting 12, I vaguely know that you can knock off like the first 2 zeros (first? Last?) but I’m never sure of specific conversions beyond that

[@holyheretic3185]

Lol! I also kinda put together you can knock off 2 zeros and you pretty accurate up to like billions of yen :P ​@@darkdruidsvale

[@dominicsommer7187]

@darkdruidsvale thats actually the popular conversion guideline for American Tourists in Japan because we assume that they can't do math. "just remove the 2 0's at the end" it's actually pretty accurate because the cost of food in America on average is 30% higher than in Japan. So them technically being 30% off when converting price actually keeps it more accurate.

Remember, when comparing food prices/cost of living between countries, it is important to also consider stuff like average income. For example, no one is commenting on the Indian street food videos saying "actually, that isn't expensive at all" because they understand that it is, relatively speaking. I know in my field at least (software engineer) people earn wayyyy less in Japan.

[@ManSeekingMeaning]

Good point. $8 for a parfait may over there may be nearly an hours worth of work for most young people after taxes are taken out, etc, which would be the equivalent for most young Americans spending $15 on a desert. Not completely outrageous, but definitely pricey.

[@cookiestrong8757]

@@xjmmjbnqfstjdijoj2044 You’re right. The minimum wage differs depending on the prefecture and because Tokyo has a higher cost of living, the minimum wage is also higher at, like you said, ¥1,113 which is $7.85. But only 8 out of 47 prefectures have a minimum wage higher than ¥1,000 which is currently $7.05. The rest of the prefectures sit at around ¥900 range which is give or take $6.35 currently. The minimum wage used to be lower, but luckily they recently raised it. But sadly the reason they raised it is because living expenses have gone up significantly. And sadly even if the minimum wage has increased, wages across the country are still largely the same.
