The format of the butter in Japan is similar to the European one in shape, but not in size. The typical size is Japan is 250g which is much smaller than what you find in Western Europe, and way more expensive per gram as well. Also, butter is regularly out of stock because of the JA mafia.

250g is the standard size in Europe too, at least in Germany

Same in France and Spain. 250g is the standard size.
