築地の飲食店、高市首相の台湾有事発言による観光客減で値下げ

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

The review found that images of the Tsukiji restaurant’s discounted menu had also been posted in August, before the prime minister’s remarks. It says the image’s date is unknown, but the restaurant had discounted prices before China’s travel advisory, so the claim that the discount was a temporary response to Chinese tourists disappearing is misleading.

中国からの食料輸入がなくなったら日本の食卓はイモだらけ?

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

The review says the viral image depicts a hypothetical diet based on Japan producing all its food domestically, not the effect of imports from China alone: “拡散した画像は、中国を含むすべての国からの食料輸入が止まった場合のシミュレーション” and “『中国から食料輸入が止まった場合』を想定した画像ではない.” It reports that Chinese imports made up 2% of Japan’s food supply by calories in fiscal 2024, and concludes that losing those imports alone would not produce the pictured situation: “カロリーベースでは2％” and “中国から食料の輸入が途絶えただけで、拡散した画像のような食料事情になることはない.”
