At every mart I go to now I see tables set up full of 100 yen items.

They seem to be incredibly popular but they're a rip-off!!!

the 100 yen items are going for 2000 won in E-mart. that's about 250 yen or so. That's quite the mark-up from a "discount" superstore chain.

Anyways, could the influx of 100 yen items be a sign that Japanese hate is waning?

It will be generations before the hate of anything foreign can disappear from this society.

It's too bad.

The price difference is probably due to the huge duties the Korean gov. places on imported goods.

Koreans don't dislike Japanese products, just Japanese people.
