Oden: Japanese for 'soul food'

There's no need to look at the changing leaves to know what season it is; just walk into your nearest 7-Eleven outlet and sniff. Those trays of oden stewing by the checkout are all you need to know that winter is on its way.

Rice industry is out of touch

The debate on rice in this country never ceases to amaze me. With a population of ever-expanding cosmopolitans, the thought of living on a staple of rice to ensure that the Japanese rice industry survives is not only self-serving but also a plan that is doomed to the ashes of the 20th century.
