Thought I read somewhere a long time ago that they imported a bunch of rice from the US as a result of some trade agreement. But they don’t want to eat the rice from the US because it’s lower quality. So it doesn’t get sold for human consumption. Though I guess they use it to make other stuff. Like you could ferment and distill it.
Iirc we use American rice in cheaper restaurants and donate it for himantarian aid overseas but I imagine not many people, myself included, would buy American rice at the grocery stores unless absolutely necessary.

They were using it for pig feed.
I thought maybe I read that about soy beans?
Tbf Japan uses rice for sooo many things. Would not be surprised to see clothing woven from it.
