Summer 2010 Beef Bowl Price War

Japan’s major beef bowl chains are in the midst of a summer price war:

Sukiya, Yoshinoya, and Matsuya will all be dropping the prices of their beef bowls into the two hundreds. The deal will last for the next week or so, so hurry and get a beef bowl while they last!

Matsuya at least the one at Shijo-Oumiya, Kyoto have been selling Gyumeshi for 250 yen the last week already. Maybe even for longer(I arrived in Kyoto 9 days ago).

The import duty on foreign rice is as high as 490%. The importers of foreign beef pays a 50%-import duty. If beef-bowl is prepared, processed, packed and freezed in Australia or the US, and imported into Japan, the import duty on the delicacies would be somewhere between 6 to 20% as long as the beef in a bowl accounts for more than 20% of the total weight because beef bowls are classified as processed food. Ika-mesi or a boiled Squid staffed with rice is imported from Thailand to take advantage of low import duties. If you start importing beef-bowls, they could be sold for less than 100 yen.
