Yes, the Beanstalk is made in Japan. There are only few Japanese supermarket selling this item and costed $330 for 0-9 months.
I buy it from Bonjour and it is only $188, for 9months to 3 years, they are selling at $168 each. If you apply for the Bonjour Visa Card, you can also enjoy 5% discount as well.
Actually, I think it is only the difference of what so call "水貨" &"正貨",just as what you buy cosmetics in counter or Bonjour or SaSa. Of course, there is big difference in price, UNY/JUSCO/CITYSUPER selling at $330.
If any mom learnt the difference, kindly please correct me.
