How come every time I buy Japanese rice, it's always grown in California?

If you are buying Californian rice, why do you think it's Japanese?

Because Japan heavily subsidizes their rice farmers to produce enough for the nation but there really is no incentive to produce a surplus. Therefore, the rice industry in Japan produces enough for Japan but not enough for widespread export. Japanese style rices (short grain) are grown elsewhere, including California, and used as a close substitute for the real thing.

The writing on my T-shirt label is English, Spanish, and French; yet it's made in Egypt.

That statement is not a given as it would be in many countries. Japan produces very few things in quantities great enough to support its own demand. Lack of arable land makes it hard for Japan to produce enough rice, even for itself. Only heavy subsidies ensure Japanese farmers continue to grow rice rather than selling the land at a very high price.

Jasmine rice is the only good long grain rice. I use it for all my Japanese dishes.

explain? whats the problem with the long grain? Short grain is mainly used in sushi. Or did you think that sushi was the only thing made in Japan? I make REAL Japanese dishes, not the california rolls that you likely eat and consider yourself a sushi expert, leave weaboo

because it's cheaper to grow it here than it is to grow it in Japan and send it here.

I'm pretty sure that he meant that Japan can't even produce enough rice to sustain itself.

i wouldnt be so sure, i watched a segment on the news here a few weeks back, and they showed a warehouse packed full of emergency aid relief rice.
they were 2okg packs stacked on top of each other at least 2 stories high.
they said that if needed, the rice in this warehouse would be enough to feed the world for an hour.

>feed the world for an hour.
that means it's only enough to feed Japan for 2 days

that's pretty poor
