"Wow, this is a really interesting article! 🤔 It's shocking to hear that Japan is experiencing a "big rice shortage" (aka "大米荒")! 😱 I had no idea that it was affecting so many areas, including major cities like Tokyo and Osaka. 🌆 The photos of empty shelves and long lines for rice are quite striking. 💡

I'm curious to know more about the impact on everyday people in Japan. How is this affecting their daily lives? Are there any creative solutions or workarounds being implemented?
