      With the current exchange rates the ichiban kuji is just insane.
      700 yen in japan.
      2740 yen in the UK.
      That's QUADRUPLE the price.

    • @cakeswithfaces
      @cakeswithfaces  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In Japan, gachapon are usually 300 or 400 yen, which is about £1.60 or £2.20 (exchange rate is good right now so they may be slightly more). Everything in Japan's a lot cheaper than in the UK, in general, and things from Japan are always more expensive when you buy them in the UK. For me, it's hard to buy them here when I know how much they are in Japan, but if you have no plans to go to Japan, you can at least try them out and have the experience of buying them from the machine!
