"I really am Japanese to my core"
While talking about foods and condiments that originated in Korea and China, AFAIK...
I mean to be fair a lot of the stuff Japanese are proud of fall under:
"You made this?"
"..."
"I made this"
Jokes aside every time they invaded somewhere they brought back stuff they then integrated into their culture so actually "close enough" :p

Mostly it isn't from invading, it's from trading. Though they would love if you thought it was from invading lol

@BanditHadron I can't but help roll my eyes everytime I see nationalistic pride in Japanese manga. It's too much.

This entire thread is killing me, cos it's way too accurate.

I love talking with my Japanese friends and they claim something as Super Japanese, and we'll point out that it came from Korea (like everything except rice and kanji), and they shift the discussion to how Japan assimilates other cultural ideas better than anyone... 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Like, damn son!

Also, and this has just kind of been bugging me, in the position of the MC, why grow rice?!
Wheat
exists, and is way, WAY more efficient; it takes less room, less water, less physical work, and has more nutritional content.
Hell, it even keeps longer, and rots less over time in adverse conditions!
Don't get me wrong: if there was only one food I could eat for the rest of my life, it would happily be rice; I love rice the way an isekai MC loves rice!
But... if you need to feed a bunch of people really fast?
Wheat.
It takes very little to grow, all you need to add is salt and water to make bread (though yeast is nice), and can even be digested when eaten raw (yanno, if necessary).

And dude grows rice?
With the knowledge and ability of a god, he chooses Rice?!

Just seems dumb.
