Ota · Ume · 2026-06-30
The Gunma-labelled ume row offers three price points, but one essential unit definition is missing. Reading that limitation correctly is more valuable than manufacturing a per-kilogram bargain.
The quote as recorded
The row reports a high of ¥9,720, a middle of ¥5,292 and a low of ¥540, with raw quote-unit string “10”, on 30 June 2026 at Ota. The origin label is 群馬 and the sales method is negotiated. The extract does not define the physical meaning of “10”.

A spread, not a unit price
The difference between high and low is ¥9,180 in the row’s unresolved quotation basis. The middle entry must not be relabelled as an arithmetic average or median without the dataset definition. Likewise, dividing by ten does not establish a per-kilogram price.

Compare the companion row carefully
The Wakayama-labelled ume row has the same raw quote-unit string but all three prices blank. There is no basis to conclude that Gunma was more expensive than Wakayama. Keep the origin label and source row ID attached to the numbers; the English title alone makes the two entries look deceptively similar.
