      Yet they decided to ask farmers to continue to reduce production to maintain prices instead of, idk, reducing potential oversupply by refilling their reserves.

      Feels like a good use, actually caring about costs affecting your average guy.

      I am still angry about the NHK report blaming foreign tourists to exacerbating the rice shortage.

      Japanese rice is more common in US than ever. Every Japanese grocery and most Chinese and Korean grocery stores have rice from Hokkaido and sometimes Niigata. The packaging is partially in English, so this was packaged to be sold in the US. The exchange rate makes it too financially enticing not to sell overseas. 5kg bag costs around $25. 10kg around $45 in the SF Bay Area.

      USA must be infecting Japan worse than they thought
