By Miho Uranaka and Sam NusseyTOKYO (Reuters) - Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has priced a 6-tranche yen denominated bond totalling 90 billion yen ($626.70 million), according to a term sheet reviewed by Reuters. The sale comes as debt deals are being shelved because of the fallout from U.S President Donald Trump's tariffs, which investors fear could spark a global recession. It is the smallest yen-denominated bond sale by Buffett's conglomerate. Tenors ranged from 3 years to 30 years.
