It's pretty much all dairy products, so it does add up. Yeah, I know, but it’s not just cheese. It’s pretty much all dairy products, so it does add up.

Right? It’s not real cheese to begin with but the heavily processed stuff that I wouldn’t even buy in Australia.

Are they exporting to other countries, ending up with lower stock in Japan? Price rise by 25%!! that is too much. Are they exporting to other countries, ending up with lower stock in Japan?

(I may have even put you on to this cheese) If it isn't enough that they have to finger-print us gaijin, sheesh this has got to be a direct attack on us as we all know Japanese do not eat the stuff in the same volume as we do!! At any given time there is a empty cheese wrap in my car and mmm I may have to really cut back on the expenses. There goes my wife's Xmas present!! I'm sure she will understand as we can't have everything now can we!! Has anyone asked the cows how they feel??? They may feel cheated that their life-long dreams of supplying cheap cheese has now been taken away !!! This is Xmas, how can they do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a big fan of the Japanese cheese, so I'm already used to paying an arm and a leg for some imported Canadian brands (only the real deal will do). But if it goes up any more, then I'll give up my once a month treat :???: Giving up energy drinks would be better than giving up cheese.
