According to a report by FBS Fukuoka Broadcasting aired on Nov. 11, wholesale egg prices in Fukuoka have reached their highest level of the year, with medium-sized eggs priced at 330 yen per kilogram. Prices have been rising since August, and a supermarket in Higashi Ward reported that a carton now costs approximately 20 yen – 30 yen more than last year. FBS also visited La Vie en Rose, a cake shop in Hakata Ward that uses around 10 kg of eggs daily. The shop reported egg costs approximately 20% higher than usual and has raised its Christmas cake prices by about 5% compared with last year. During the Christmas season, the shop typically produces more than 1,000 cakes, tripling its normal egg consumption.
