In July, the cost of preparing a serving of curry rice at home in Japan dipped below 350 yen for the first time in 11 months, according to Teikoku Databank. The dish's price, determined by the expenses of ingredients, utilities and related costs, settled at 349 yen per serving in July, marking a 2 yen drop from the previous month.
The decline was primarily attributed to lower rice prices, which saw the figure just 1.5% higher than July 2025. Experts predict an August cost decline from the same period last year, marking the first year-over-year fall in about four years.
