Why has rice been eaten in Japan for so long? Learn about the history and appeal of rice.
Hello.
I'm Narita, a staff member of "Kome Dreaming."
It's been very cold lately, how are you feeling?
Now, let's talk about rice, a staple food that is familiar to us in Japan.
When I was little, about 80% of the food on the dinner table at home and in school lunches was rice.
In Japan, rice has been eaten as a staple food since ancient times, but why "rice"?
This time, I will write in several chapters about the history of rice, Japan's soul food, and its unique appeal today.
