After 'The Bubble Economy,' the new tendencies of Japanese food consumption patterns are shown as follows; 1) The number of income elasticities of demand for food items that own more than 0.1 or equal has turned to increase, once again. 2) Income significantly caused much difference in the food quality, which is measured by the difference in unit value among different income classes.
