Japan's supermarket sales declined in April, data from the Chain Store Association showed Wednesday.
Supermarket sales dropped 1 percent year-on-year in April, reversing a 0.5 percent rise in March.
The annual drop was largely driven by clothing sales, which fell 7 percent. Meanwhile, services and household goods sales expanded from last year.
Before adjustment, sales grew 0.2 percent but slower than the 2 percent increase seen a month ago.
On a monthly basis, supermarket sales declined 1.6 percent in April.
