Taste with curry or rice!
I enjoyed the difficulties of the people who developed the product while enjoying the differences among the different varieties and enjoying the taste of the product.
Rice (paddy rice) has already been confirmed to be affected by high temperatures, such as quality degradation, nationwide. National research institutes and municipalities are considering various measures against heat in rice production, such as the creation of varieties that do not deteriorate in quality even at high temperatures, the timing of rice planting, and the management of water and fertilizer.
