Probably closer to $25-$30. At least that's what it'd cost in the US.

I understand that the food is super-tasty, but $50 for a bentō? Confused
Oh well, at least the Haikyū cover art looks awesome.

without these fancy packaging.. i'm sure the price will drop quite a bit.

when it's food just leave it in plastic wrap.. there's no need for fancy packaging since most people will just remove and throw it away anyway.. it's a waste of money to just pay extra for things you will just throw away

Japan is notorious for over-packaging. A cookie bag can have cookies in a big bag, and inside it, each cookie is in its own little bag. Laughing

Perhaps that explains why even snack foods tend to be so expensive...
A package within a package before getting to the actual product...

Rolling Eyes it's wasteful.. plus the cost of the packaging will be added to the price of the product :/
