(I actually asked this question just yesterday in my adult class). However, Japan is obligated to buy X amount of foreign rice per year via trade agreements. That rice ends up as crackers, in convenience store products, or rotting in warehouses. Some foods are more attached to the national psyche than others. It makes sense to buy foreign produced products, but it doesn't mean people will change easily. WHY aren't you buying my California grown rice  Lol although it could be very well Mississippi or Arkansas rice. I just assume some of that forging rice is American. Considering how much Rice and soy we grow(which is a ton more then people would think)edit:Lol opps i didn't mean to post this I was suppose to be one of my type out but don't post post | ||

Not only is it a very time intensive task, you have to really know what you are doing. Even with the same ingredients, my grandma's kimchi was way better than my mom's. Also, there is nothing worse than a bad kimchi.

Supply and demand. Also, I can't imagine the radish harvest was any good either. | ||
