What Japan really needs is some Portuguese carolino rice, it sticks together nicely. That long-grain stuff? Not so much. Gotta know the difference! I eat rice almost every day, I know what I'm talking about! Ahahah

I was also reading that on Japanese TV they're showing how to make good tasting rice with old rice...something crazy. The current government doesn't want to import rice from the US, and the opposition wants to open the borders...Sunday will be decisive.
