According to the manufacturers, the price will be raised for the main products of regular coffee for home use, "UCC Ueshima Coffee" from next month 1st, "Ajinomoto AGF" and "Key Coffee" from October 1st. Review the shipping price.
As a result, retail prices at stores are expected to increase by about 20%.
