I'm surprised that they are not claiming they are "imported" needles.

my guess is taicoon hasn't graduated from Junior highschool yet so he hasn't been paying taxes for 20 years yet

Rice farming in Japan is just funnelling money to the zaibatsu. Not just the massive amounts of chemicals that make profits for Mitsubishi etal, but all the bits of mechanized equipment that every village has 20 of.

Is there any evidence that the fungus was on the rice when it was imported. Could the fungus have grown while the rice was in Japanese storage?

Japanese society has a strict awareness against ganja, but amphetamine use is widespread and always has been since it was legal after WW2.

What I don't understand is that pure japanese food is so uniquely tasty and healthy, then how come they obviously can't tell when it's been mislabelled?

I doubt the new law will make much difference. Japanese consumers seem quite happy to keep buying from companies that have ripped them off, unless of course it's a foreign company.
