It's better to make it locally, than to have it shipped by plane across the world.

The french flag is a bit surprising given it's not made in France, but it's flattering since that means Japanese like french stuff.

It's because the origin is French, it's like having an Italian flag on pasta.

That's the least you could say, French references are everywhere in Tokyo, food, fashion, building names; it is associated with fanciness.

Tu as la conversion en Euro ? Qu'on compare avec le boursin de Carrouf bien de che z nous ?

3.76€. In general food is much cheaper than in France, except for imported PDO (AOP) food and some common French fruits that are sold as luxury here. For example Comté is 5€30 for 100g, melon can be 30€ for one.

Those are pretty common in most European countries I've been to too, though often more monochrome. They just seem like less of a hastle than paper tags, if properly implemented.

We have also had them in Canada for at least a couple of years.

It's e-ink, like Kobo reader etc. there's a battery in the tag
