Oishinbo: Nichibei Kome Sensou

Original title: 美味しんぼ 日米コメ戦争

Directed by Yoshio Takeuchi

The Oishinbo gang takes time off from the normal culinary wars to get involved with a political dispute about American rice imports. The economic conflict between a pushy US Senator from California and a nationalistic Japanese politician is further complicated by concerns about the cumulative effect of pesticide use in both American and Japanese agriculture.
