食料品の消費税1%、本当に「お得」なの？｜Is Japan's 1% Food Tax Really a Win?｜Japanese Podcast【N3-N2】

Next spring, the tax on food in Japan may drop from 8% to just 1% — and my family's grocery bill would get about ¥6,500 lighter every month. In this episode I walk through what has actually been decided (two years only, restaurants excluded, and why 1% instead of 0%), then ask the harder question: with prices climbing and "opportunistic price hikes" everywhere, will we really pay less? Along the way you'll pick up real news vocabulary — 軽減税率, 財源, 便乗値上げ, 実質 — and a calmer way to read news you cannot control. 【My Instagram for Japanese Learning】 https://www.instagram.com/yosuke_teac... 【Onikanji】https://onikanji.com/?ref=yosuketeach...
