Japanese snack company Yaokin recently apologized for raising the price of their popular snack Umaibo corn puff stick by 3 yen, or approximately 2 cents.⁠
⁠
“In order to ensure the continued and stable supply of our products, we sincerely apologize, but we will be implementing a price revision starting with shipments in October,” Yaokin wrote in part. The company attributed the price hike to rising costs of raw materials such as corn oil and vegetable oil, as well as labor, packaging and distribution. Yaokin last raised the price of Umaibo in 2022, marking the first increase in 43 years since the corn snack debuted at 10 yen ($0.07) in 1979.⁠
⁠
The price change has taken effect yesterday, Oct. 1.⁠
