Amazon sells nishiki rice cheap (my rule is around $1 per pound): most rice in Asian supermarkets cost more (cheaper usually only for massive 50lb bags). Amazon even prices the small 5 lb bag at $7--get subscribe and save and it's around $5!
This is worth $1.68 TOTAL: Divide 63oz. by 3 to get the actual amount of dry rice= this is 21 dry ounces. Amazon sells nishiki rice .08 per ounce (cheaper if you subscribe).
Buying a cheap little rice cooker is so worth it: they take only about 15 minutes to cook. Fresh rice tastes a million times better: I have to yell at my kids to stop eating only rice because it's so yummy when it's fresh. Lastly, I understand the convenience of just microwaving the rice. You'd get that anyway: save the remaining rice from the rice cooker.

The value here isn't just in the finished product or superior quality, it's in the convenience and form factor. I love rice, I have a rice cooker, I have a big bag of rice.. but most non-asian households don't have rice ready-to-go all day long, and typically don't go back for more multiple times per day.
I love rice! But one of these after getting home, or during my lunch break, or in the middle of the night is great. I'm not eating 3-4 a day, but rather ~5 a week. It doesn't make sense to wash and measure the rice, wait for it to cook, and then clean everything afterwards.. I'd rather drop $1 and have rice ready-to-go in 80 seconds whether I'm at work or just at home, and cut out ~20 minutes of time making it.
It's not meant to be a complete substitute/premium version of rice, it's meant to be a quick grab-and-go option with no setup or cleanup, and no waiting. If I'm making dinner involving rice, I'll make a pot of rice in the cooker.. but I rarely ever bring that thing out because of the inconvenience of it all.
What I am confused is how Japan can export rice with domestic price what it is. This must be California rice sold by Japanese firm.
