  I've heard people say for decades now that rice is Japanese culture. (Never mind 3/4 of the world cultivates and eats it). As Cleo pointed out, the company that sold rancid rice to the sake and shochu makers - do they have the Japanese spirit? Poisoning their fellow Japanese people?…

  two daughters who have been living separately since his divorce in 2001.

  This strongly suggests his daughters don't live with one another. I have a feeling the writer wanted to say Sakai no longer lives with his daughters. And, at 62, one can assume that his daughters are in…
