Die Reispreise in Japan haben sich endlich stabilisiert – nicht, weil die Regierung Angebotsbeschränkungen verhindert hätte, sondern einfach, weil die Preise so hoch geworden sind, dass viele Bürger aufgehört haben, Reis zu kaufen, was die Nachfrage verringert hat

As my mother said. Is the government Japanese? It looks like it is not even from earth.
The gov does not care about us, greed is the only policy.
Yeah, now we buy (more) pasta from abroad because it is cheaper than rice.
Total nonsense for the Japanese economy and food independance.
If Japanese people don’t eat rice, are they still Japanese?
What a shitty situation.
Rice… Something so simple and a japanese staple food is now so expensive people are having to switch to pasta and bread…
It’s something that cost like $1 / 1kg In most countries, but in Japan it cost like 10,000 for a bag of 10kg. The average japanese have to work 1 full day just to afford a bag 💀
So when does Takaichi and politicians start taking some measures to reduce oil consumption and save it for necessary things like plastics for medicine or fertilizer and farmer’s tractors?
Just buy Chinese rice lol
Sometimes, the Japanese government’s genius is almost frightening.
*They did nothing at all*
I have a friend that has shifted to calrose
Isn’t it because they only buy Japanese rice? So they switch to pasta instead of the other million rice varieties that are way cheaper?
I live in SE Asia and my Japanese wife says she is thinking about buying Japanese rice here to bring back home. What a timeline
I’d like to thank the useless government and JA cartel for forcing me to stop being lazy and setup a regular sourdough starter and adding several no knead bread recipes to my weekly diet.
Time to start mixing, like coffee.
The “special blend” contains 30% Japanese rice, enough to consider it Japanese by the rules I’ve just made up.
Not eating rice! The secret rice hack that Big Rice doesn’t want you to know
And here I am where my wife *insists* we get the local prefecture rice „to cheer on the local farmers“ and next to it is Miyagi rice for about 1000 yen cheaper.
‚Stablize‘ is a relative term. What used to cost 4,000円 for 10kg two years ago went up to 9,000円 last year and has now ’stabilized ‚ at 7,500円 due to people not buying it. 🙄
