Rice

Did you know that people in Asia eat rice almost every day? In Asia, rice refers to several varieties of short-grain rice, including ordinary rice and glutinous rice. Atomic rice, which is considered the beginning of Japanese rice, was cultivated in the Jomon period about 3,000 years ago. After the war, the rice that became the staple food of the Japanese contains many sources of energy. It has a high digestion and absorption rate, and is also a source of protein that makes up the body. In addition, rice goes well with any side dish, such as fish and meat. Japanese meals, mainly rice-based, are said to have a good nutritional balance and are attracting international attention.
