Synopsis
Oishinbo characters engage in political drama over US rice imports and pesticide concerns.

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.
