The Price Discrepancy of Luxury Sushi Establishments Between New York and Japan is Quite Astonishing

The prohibitively high prices of upscale sushi establishments in New York have become a matter of considerable debate in Japan. To illustrate this point, we have juxtaposed the prices at "Sushi Noz" in New York with those of typical sushi offerings in Japan.

To provide context, a seafood bowl at Sushi Noz is priced at a steep $60, in stark contrast to a similar dish in Japan, which can be savoured for a modest $10 to $20. Furthermore, the average cost per person at Sushi Noz hovers around $550, while at comparable high-end sushi restaurants in Japan, the cost generally falls between $150 and $200.

This approximate threefold price discrepancy between sushi restaurants in New York and Japan can be attributed to factors such as the depreciation of the yen and inflationary pressures in New York. Additionally, in its quest to ensure an authentic Japanese sushi experience, Sushi Noz imports the majority of its ingredients directly from Japan via airfreight, thereby incurring significantly higher procurement costs compared to other establishments. It is therefore not a question of Sushi Noz setting exorbitantly high prices, but rather the marked price disparity between the United States and Japan that has proven quite unsettling to the Japanese.

NYの寿司店すしてんと日本にほんの寿司店すしてんで約やく3倍ばいの値段ねだんの違ちがいがある理由りゆうは、円安えんやすが進すすんだことと、NYでのインフレによるものだそう。また、Sushi Nozでは本物ほんものの日本にほんの寿司すしを提供ていきょうするために、ほとんどの食材しょくざいを空輸くうゆして日本にほんから運はこんでいるため仕入しいれ値ねが他たの店みせと比くらべて高たかいそうです。なので、決けっしてSushi Nozが高たかすぎる値段ねだんを提示ていじしているわけではありませんが、アメリカと日本にほんでこれだけの差さがあるのは日本人にほんじんにとって衝撃しょうげきです。
