I found this a bit amusing because I do not recall ever eating food made using lettuce while in Japan, except for maybe a single salad. It's simply not a large staple crop there. That is probably why Fujitsu chose it, as opposed to a crop like rice or a type of bean. It will be interesting to see if this type of production picks up, although I do not see why it would.

Lettuce is not exactly a staple in Japan, but it's common enough that you'd have to go out of your way to avoid it. It's in sandwiches like you'd expect, it's in garnish, it's in salad (though the Japanese seem to prefer cabbage-based salad), and you can buy it at any supermarket.
