More asian propaganda about the oh so amazing flavour of plain white rice

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.
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.

God damn, that last page both hit like a truck and had the ultimate feeling of "she's going to be okay" tension relief.
I love this series.

Is that an Oishinbo reference on page 9? I've read a few random chapters here and there from it, but not so much to be sure. But it kinda looks like their art style and I feel like I've read someone say a line like that too.

Interesting that they soak it that long, in my country we just cook rice after cleaning it.

Also, that panel with Nori the cat trying to join is very cute. Thanks!

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.
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.

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.
Heck... it is A LOT bigger...

I ate combini onigiri most of the time, but last visit was when Uber Eats started to become a thing in Japan and I can order more things easily; I found onigiri shop and ordered 4 for myself and my wife, expecting the combini size onigiri... The shocked we had when we received the order...

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

We'll explain it in the next chapter.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation, guess it's a skill issue from my part. :kek:

I saw some tweets from Japan the other day about the price of rice, no wonder they are switching to something else.
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 -_-

I'd love to eat Myoko's onigiri everyday.

Thank you for the translation (I need to find me some really good onigiri near me one of these days).
