59

The Touzai Arts and Culture Department staff visit a trade exhibition of California rice, and the economist Ryo Osaki accompanying the Deputy Prime Minister Kakumaru announces the liberalization of the rice import policy. Yamaoka objects, claiming that Japanese rice grown traditionally, tastes different. While preparing for lunch back at the office, the Touzai staff start discussing their favourite rice accompaniments and decide to have a "Friends of Rice" contest. Yamaoka causes a stir because he also invited the Deputy Prime Minister. The tasting competition goes well, with many varied and tasty dishes to accompany the rice. Yamaoka then argues the case for maintaining import restrictions to support the tradition of rice-growing in Japan and Kakumaru decides to reconsider the import liberalization policy.
