Reading the numbers
Wholesale prices are what intermediate wholesalers pay at the market, converted to yen per kg. Shop and online prices are higher because distribution and handling are added.
The online price is the median per-kg price of fresh ume on sale at Rakuten Ichiba whose listing states a weight (e.g. 2kg). Shipping is not included.
