Mar 5, 2019 at 9:16 comment added Olorin "may be" -> "will be". Source: friends have had their rice discarded because they didn't have this certificate. This certificate has been necessary since October 1, 2018. This was the pamphlet handed to one of them: i.sstatic.net/uHTal.jpg
Mar 5, 2019 at 8:39 comment added Zach Lipton Absolutely. If having a particular type of rice is crucial, then it might be worth trying to figure out all the logistics of taking it with you, but for most situations, it seems like an enormous amount of trouble. And absent special dietary restrictions, if you're able to do so, why not eat some Japanese rice when in Japan?
