This week's interview with farmer and mother, Heather Fukase, is a bit on the long side but I just couldn't cut out all the deliciously fun topics we cover!&amp;nbsp; So, take your time with it and enjoy. In this week's episode, we get a full lesson on RICE-- learning about how it is grown in Japan, the different varieties &amp;amp; what makes them different, how to eat it and of course, a rice recipe for Miso Yaki Onigiri (Grilled Miso Rice Balls). Along the way, Heather shares her stories of being a young Australian woman trying to naturally farm in Japan and the ways in which old traditions and modern innovation come together.&amp;nbsp; We learn how she's grown her business with a SUPER UNIQUE niche and delivery method as well as how japanese students learn about food &amp;amp; seasonality through their school lunches. I LOVE japanese food and so we wander into a few areas of japanese food culture that I think you'll enjoy to hear about. Then, you can find a place in your area to try some of these items! The Recipe starts at 50:11.
