Lived there for 6 years. You're not buying American steak, most likely it's Australian.
There are certain clothing brands (at a much higher cost), large fast food chains, and Apple are the exceptions. Basically really large companies that make specific deals.
- tdeck 10mo agoJust checked my local grocery store circular, and as you can see (upper left) they sell American pork, at least. I believe I have bought American steak but it's not on sale at the moment. https://www.seiyu.co.jp/assets/images/flyer_blackfriday251125_aichi_a_01.jpg https://www.seiyu.co.jp/assets/images/flyer_blackfriday25112...
- tacker2000 10mo agoYou are comparing apples and oranges. For food items, the import regulations are much stricter in every country than for stuff like electronics or clothes. Meat especially is very highly restricted, due to differences in feeding, antibiotics, etc... And how are "large companies" making deals? The same import duties apply to everyone.
