Recently, in order to alleviate the high rice prices, the Japanese government has released a new batch of reserve rice in Hokkaido and other places. It is understood that this batch of rice was produced in 2022 and was called "Old Chen rice" by Japanese media. Each bag is 5 kilograms and the price is about RMB 107, which is half of the market price. In a rice shop in Sapporo, thousands of consumers lined up for hours, and 1,000 bags of reserve rice were sold out quickly; in a supermarket in Kagoshima, someone started queuing from 1 a.m. and waited all night.
