    How it works

    「ちなみに (chinami ni)」 is an adverbial phrase used to introduce additional, often related, information or a side note. It functions similarly to 'by the way' or 'incidentally' in English. It's often followed by a comma in writing and a slight pause in speech. 「値段は (nedan wa)」 means 'the price is...' and implies that the speaker is about to state the price.
