Cheese in Japan

During 2023, cheese experienced its highest ever annual increase in the average unit price, with a double-digit growth rate. This was due to a surge in the cost of imported raw materials for cheese. Major manufacturers had to revise cheese prices owing not only to the rising costs of raw materials, but also due to increased expenses related to energy and labour, compounded by the weakening yen from the latter half of 2022.
