Japan’s grocery market is one of the most dynamic and digitally advanced in Asia. Cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto are home to millions of online grocery shoppers who compare prices daily across platforms like Rakuten Ichiba and AEON Mall. These platforms update prices frequently due to promotions, seasonal offers, and inventory changes—making real-time monitoring essential for competitive analysis.
