Can someone tell me why a statement of fact is being downvoted? I am genuinely puzzled.

  Because the poster's tone implies that American Calrose rice is inedible vs the superior Japanese rice. That's simply not true, and a bit reductionist.

    Is this the comment you are referring to? I can’t find any such implications. Maybe it was edited? I can buy rice at Costco in the US for $25 for 50lbs, which is equivalent to 854 yen for 5KG. A bit less than 1/4 the cost of Japanese grown rice.

      I also wasn’t following. I primarily eat US rice. The marginally better rice from Japan I might buy if I’m going to make sushi at home, but that’s just because I’d be investing so much time and energy already, might as well spend a few bucks more on a slightly better rice.
