I think you mean "senmai"


That was funny! I think I noticed I messed that up and thought I caught it in an edit. I laughed the first time, and it's still funny :P. I can't believe I let that slip.

That would be nice to have different styles of rice throughout the week! I haven't heard about keeping it brown until you cook it thing before. I'll have to talk to my girlfriend about that and see if we can't do that the next time we get a bag 'o rice.

I definately get what you're saying Nyororin. It's just that the sentiment that it's a "poor persons food" seems to be what Japanese people feel about it whether it's true or not. I talked to my girlfriend about it tonight again and told her that the guy in that article went to Kanazawa to check out the soy sauce there-- which is close by to where we live. She said her dad has a lot of good soy sauce (he likes sashimi a lot) and she mentioned that she had seen some that was made for putting on rice! I'm sure that soy sauce was not cheap at all.
