August is supposed to be the time when there is the least because the new season rice typically begins in September, so I can understand the supply/demand argument.
Wait for the new excuses as to why rice will still be expensive from this month too, though

Who in the fuck goes to Japan (with probably just 1 big luggage item available) and buys 5-10 kg of rice, enough to cause a lack of stock?
I understand it is easy to say “hey, lots of foreigners around right? it is probably their fault”, but in this case it makes 0 sense. I could understand blaming it on purchases from people overseas made online due to the weak yen? (better not give them any ideas…)

For those that don’t know this is most likely the result of government close mindedness sadly
