Rice
The Japanese people love to eat rice -- and lots
of it. A bowl of rice is served with almost every
meal in a Japanese home. In order to supply enough
of it to the market place, 40 percent of Japan's
farmland is used to grow rice. The Japanese farmers
are the most efficient rice growers in the world,
producing almost 10.7million ton(ne)s of rice every
year. According to Japanese mythology, the fox is
the rice god's messenger.
