  Well, I wonder how many people import rice personally...

  I admit many Japanese are so sensible about the quality/taste of
the rice they eat.   I myself are not so much... but I do not like
gen-mai.

  Well, then you can cook rice without rice cooker!  Surely I can't.
Of couse, I perhaps can after many trial and erros...  Most of
us Janapese just cannot imagne life without rice cooker, I guess.

  No.  I have a rice cooker for "Singles", and it can perfectry cook
half cup of rice, appropriate for my lunch.   Oh, I am satisfied with
it, but people sensible to the taset of rice might complain... I don't
know.  But if you like to cook rice afreash each time, why not try
one?

  I am lookinf forward to read your NoodleReport.  Only cold ones? 
Well, Soba, Sou-men, Hiya-mugi, Hiyasi-Udon, Hiyasi-ra-men...

		I prefer Sou-men most.		      Yasushi Kuno

P.S. I guess somebody might ask the diferrence between Hiya-mugi
     and Sou-men.
