I've gotten used to eating Japanese short grain rice, and I do think it's tastier than the jasmine rice from the regular supermarket. It's fluffier.Is Japanese rice really that good ? Each time it comes up in a manga it's hyped like the food of gods. I'm more used to the cheap basmati rice that end up like some sort of glue paste.

ah, yea I didn't mean to imply that western foods were the main cause- I'll edit to more directly highlight the point about the buyback monopoly bs- but yea, it's pretty f'd right now if Japan is actually even vaguely entertaining the idea of Calrose rice entering the country.I've gotta be honest, the price gouging is a much bigger factor in the change of eating habits than western food trends. Rice used to be (comparatively) cheap. As much as Japanese people love rice (many would argue that a meal isn't a meal unless it has rice), economic pressures forcing people to seek cheaper alternatives is the big driver in reduced consumption.
Heck... it is A LOT bigger...If you don't want the konbini ones, just go to an onigiri shop/restaurant.
It will be a bit more expensive, but the size will be bigger.
And they're made fresh.
We'll explain it in the next chapter.why does the series page say it’s completed? was chapter 27 really the ending? did it get cancelled? if chapter 27 was the ending, it does make a bit of sense even if there were still some things to be looked further into
Tbh I'm from indonesia and our National Rice (BULOG) is focus on quantity rather quality too. Not to mention cases of Bad rice that release to public -_-Thanks for the in-depth explanation, guess it's a skill issue from my part.
I saw some tweets from Japan the other day about the price of rice, no wonder they are switching to something else.
