rice coupons

With the pandemic taking its toll on the economy, Tokyo prefecture recently sent us this in the mail to receive different food items to help households out.

Nine different choices, mostly rice plus something else.

I really wanted to try the rice + veggie choice but the veggies would be scheduled to arrive during the summer, and I am thinking about going to Hawaii then, so...we chose the all rice because it technically won't go bad.

So between April and June two 5 kilo bags of rice would arrive and then between July and September three 5 kilo bags of rice would arrive.

The thing is they don't tell you when it will arrive.

This past Thursday, our first portion arrived.

Luckily Satoshi was at home to take it off the delivery guy's hands.

All bags are labeled “not for resale”

This is probably use of tax payer's monies but we are still thankful for the gesture.
