I can buy rice at Costco in the US for $25 for 50lbs, which is equivalent to 854 yen for 5KG. A bit less than 1/4 the cost of Japanese grown rice.

Nice. What is the average supermarket price for the equivalent rice in US.

Looking at the closest one to me, $9/5lb (surely much less per pound in a bigger bag)
