Japanese Rice

I'd buy it

so kawaii! :D:D

Pretty ancient news, I think they're pretty sold out by now but I never knew all sorts of goodies came with it. Isn't it more like a touhou goodie pack with complimentary rice?

I would buy it for the lulz, I've already got Mario Pasta xD Might as well get some Moe rice :P

I like her fun bags... of rice.

Wait, touhou rice? Seriously?

That's a lot for rice, but it's a great marketing strategy.

Rice with... merchandise? That's just kind of silly, even if it is cute ^^;

Looks cuter than the average rice packet.

I buy the big 50 lb bags at my local Costco. The wife and I go through one in about a month. :p We eat a lot rice. Even my dog eats rice. Those cute anime packages of rice probably won't even last us a couple of days.

Looking forward to have a bite of Mirai rice...

Impressive "moe-loli rice", I'd buy it.

Mirai rice... mmmm, great idea! I'll be waiting for that *Yummy!*

Danny Choo's Mi-raisu!

Would really want one of those right about now. ^^

It sure taste moelicious ^_^
with so many goodies inside~~~~~

Did I just spot scarlet from Touhou there O_O

Mirai don, it will sure add the 6th tastes to my taste bud ^^

I used the currency converter to find out how much that was and it turns out it's almost as much for that one bag of rice in Japan as it was for my entire food bill for the rest of this week in the UK (around £15)! The goodies are nice collectors' items but that's pretty steep! Either that or I'm just a cheapskate with my food...

I'll take the package please ^^

Disregard toehoe labeled rice, are average Japanese uncooked rice looks that pretty?
Way so different than our regular Malaysia/Siam(Thai) rice

BEST MARKETING IDEA YET XD!!!

D: I'd buy it just for the bag.

Absolutely love the character on the bag... Worth the price of admission all on it's own.

Interesting..is this item purchasable in J-List?
I absolutely love it, maybe thinking hunting through out the web!
Personally, I think that Mirai may not be suitable for rice products.
Instead Mirai will be "BEST FITED" in PVC's, Resin anr Dakimakuras!
Or...may be her own version of IPOD!

Danny if you have a Mirai rice and a hand bag like that I'd buy it. Even without the bag I'd import some ^^

That comes with a lot of stuff for being a bag of rice.

Daring looking Komachi (her Name) on a rice package? AWESOME!! The Aki sisters, Shikeiki and Sanae's illustration look so adoreable, too~
A great way to advertise Touhou ^^

God, I want to import it now... 'It' looks so delicious~ =o
Also love the other goodies with his illustration on it. I can vaguely remember the the of the artworks *goes off looking in his pixiv bookmarks*

I want Touhou rice... T.T

Wow that rice comes with a lot of stuff o_o I'd buy it :P

:O
Touhou rice, where can I buy?!

Japanese rice are indeed delicious but expensive. I usually eat rice everyday and each month I have to buy 5kg pack of rice.

Rice has been a staple to my diet ever since I could chew...and why does the characters look similar to Touhou?...

I think with all the merch this rice would be expensive! A bit of a novelty, something you'd buy once but prob never again...

That's the first "doujin rice" ever sold. The rice type is "Akita Komachi" (hence the pun).
The circle is Tsudoitei (http://tsudoitei.web.fc2.com/) and was sold in Reitaisai 6 (Touhou only convention). Is available at D-Stage and Toranoana, too.

With rice coming out like this, I wonder if they plan to make a special limited edition pack of rice. You know, the kind that comes in a special packaging with loads of extra goodies. It's a silly idea, but I can see it happening. Don't you think?

I'll gladly buy it even if there're maggots inside. Those goodies that comes with it are just irresistible!

Wow, rice with prizes? I wonder what they'll moefy next?

too bad rice here doesnt come with such illustrations

only rice bags i see around here are all plain, usually white, with the logos of the company on it. would be cool if there was some nice bags like this.

I'd buy it just for the carrying bag it comes with. ':3

LOL

Anime's is everywhere now XD

touhou rice lol. 2000yen for that small pack, expensive. I'd buy it for just the goodies inside
The rice here costs about $75? for like 20kg. Which is like 235yen/kg.
The added goodies inside plus the package design raises the price to nearly 9x more than the plain designed package.

It's going to be a trend now that the first moe-fied rice sold well.

Sounds interesting, I mean how often do get extra goodies with you food. ^^
I would definitely try some.

ooh companies over here should seriously consider doing this. good marketing technique :)

Man I wish my rice was sexy like that. I'm hungry for some rice now.

i will conduct a mass order.

Wow! I'd buy that.

This just reminds me that I haven't eaten anything yet... ah oh well, skip dinner for today.

Little window for folks to check whether its real rice or dried maggots inside.
そんなことGIGAZINEは書いてないし、日本の安全なお米の中に虫が入る事もない。あきたこまちの販売者に失礼です。

I'm worried that some people might buy it and never open it. Think Konata's 'buy 3 of everything' motto ^^;

Mmm everything is better moefied. :3

nice Moe packaging for rice..xD

Maybe this came to be because alot of the touhou bullets look like.........rice.

Komachin~
I would love to buy this! And not open one packet at all, eat the rest ^^;

LOL, I'd definitely buy it, awesome package. And rice is always good and healthy:)

anyone who sell it's plastic bag?
just kidding...
I'll hav it if it's available!

who care abt the dried maggots!

I can get hungry simply looking at rice :D. I love rice!

Win. Id buy a truck load and stock up in case of a um....famine...

moe marketing at work ^_~

no rice = hungry and wish that's in Canada T_T I would stock up like a room full of them and put a rice cooker in my room and eat rice all day long....or once a day...rice all day long is kind scary

I missed some of these:
一。　米を食え
二。　米を食おう
三。　米を食うべし
四。　米を食べなさい
五。　米を食べるつちや　＜－こっちが分からない
六。　米を食べてください
七。　米を食べないといだめ　＜－食べないといだめ？　こっちも分からない
八。　米を食べなきゃお仕置きよ
９。　朝飯に米食べるとチルノにならない　＜－チルノって何？

誰か教えてくれ　＾＾ I understood 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8. I missed 5, 7, 9. was 7 a typo?

Moe rice makes you burn with passion?

lol looks like rice + touhou goodies to me as well

Rice + touhou goodies... sounds good. Rice is the staple food here and now comes with bonus goodies oh WIN!

MOE-fied rice FTW~!

since the package looks moe i am not sure with the taste ....>_<

Suddenly feel like having some fried rice tonight.

Now thats what i call good marketing strategy! a pity we dont see many of these in my country.

wow...they finally putting graphich images on Rice now... Wonder when will be the Instant noodles's turn?

Now you've made me hungry...
2000 yen rice with Touhou stuff. I'll buy it. Twice.

ご飯を食べたくなりそうだね～

「なのはちゃん」or「水月ちゃん」付き限定版があるなら、必ず食べる～

Would be glad to cook it everyday...with her on it...

i eat rice everyday, but don't feel bored.

if it is available in Malaysia, it'll be great!

I've had rice I think only once in my entire life. >_>

Wow....err I just wanted the rise, not a whole magazine! But still, bery nice girl on the front, I'd buy it just for that ^^;

Now I imagine moe spreading to all other products...
Hmm...how about Moe Panadol pills or something?

But seriously that rice is like some collector's item to me.

Moe once again help to make tons of money for the rice industry.

after komachi one now komachi two? xD
do want though~~

Rice for me everyday :)
How I wish they'd package rice the same way in Malaysia. All we got here are pics of flowers, birds, and rambutan T_T

what a nice rice package ^^ why doesnt something like what exist in germany? (>_<)

It still confuses me though... What is the connection between the ferry river and the Yama with RICE?

FTW~!

maybe most people buy the rice for the book n goodies than for the rice itself lol :P

I'm Chinese, so I eat rice about every day.
and I would buy the rice. Great marketing scheme.

2000 Yen?! I can buy myself two 1/144 HG 00 Gundam already with that!

this article reminded me of something that a friend mentioned to me, maybe someone knows for sure but there's a brand of rice sold in japan that is not exported but is considered the best rice in the world. anyone know if there's any truth to that? and if so is it because there no market for it outside the country or is it just illegal. like how Cuban cigars are illegal in the states.

I pretty much eat rice everday~..

Though this reminds me of a local brand rice in our country that has a kinda anime girl drawing on it.. forgot the name...

I would buy it for that bag

i never knew rice can be so kawaii~~~ ^^

2,000 yen for a kilo bag of rice... Isn't that a little extreme?

Touhou? On my rice? Its more likely than you think.

If only they sold this here..

Eating rice almost everyday won't be so boring anymore ^^

touhou rice ftw. would love to get some of that.

cant' live without rice... Chinese...

i wish we had stuff like that in UK.

WANT

I dont eat rice as much as i would like to but i think i have a reason to buy some more.

Touhou is my one and only drug.

Would buy, but it seems expensive for a packet of rice...

Rice looks sticky
