This makes sense considering its starring role in the production of sake, however recent news also highlights the unique role rice plays in Japanese culture.<\/p>\n<p>We know the wine world revolves around grapes. However the grapes used for wine and those grown for eating rarely have much crossover. And when there is a bad harvest of wine grapes, winemakers don\u2019t really look over the fence and start making wine with grapes normally used for making raisins.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if the table grape industry were to be in trouble leading to soaring grape prices and short supply. There&#8217;d be some disappointed grape eaters for sure, but it would hardly cripple France, Spain, Italy\u2019s or any other wine producing country\u2019s culinary culture.<\/p>\n<p><span>In Japan however, rice is everything. And many sake breweries <\/span><em>do<\/em><span> use table rice for their sake. There <\/span><em>is <\/em><span>crossover and in the event of a tug of war over rice stocks between sake breweries and restaurants and Japanese households, you can be sure the sake industry would lose. Nihonshu is important to Japanese culture and its people, but not more important than rice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As long as Mother Nature and climate change keep throwing spanners in the rice farming works, there will need to be some serious steps taken to counter or adapt to these supply shortages and price rises.<\/p>\n<p>And now for the news\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure><a class=\"image-link image2 is-viewable-img\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png\" data-component-name=\"Image2ToDOM\" rel=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 1456w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:250,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:39681,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/sakeindustrynews.substack.com\/i\/159115820?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false}\" class=\"sizing-normal\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8440c99c-6879-4d87-bbed-1f6fec027242_500x250.png 1456w\" sizes=\"100vw\" fetchpriority=\"high\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Japan-<\/strong><span> As the rice shortages and price increases continue, Japan has increased its imports of rice to a record 468 tons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The figure shows the desperation of the industry as the increase comes despite government-imposed tariffs of JPY341 (USD2) per kilogram on privately imported rice &#8211; originally implemented to protect the domestic market.<\/p>\n<p>Koshihikari rice rose by 4% per 5kg in February to JPY4363.
