    Because they’re really different. People who don’t eat rice as a staple aren’t aware how much varieties there are and how different they taste. There are three specific varieties used just in my own house for lunch, breakfast dishes and dinner respectively.

    Japanese or Thai rice are totally different in taste, consistency and texture.

    It would be like trying to bake using whole wheat flour instead of refined flour.
