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.

not the same species!

american white rice is only good when it's transformed into spanish rice, fried rice or creamy rice.

otherwise it's too bland because it's stripped. brown rice is better but still not as good.

both japonica and jasmine rice are good on their own.

love jasmine rice over all of them, it makes your mouth water when you cook it.

edit: who downvotes a comment about rice? lol.

Perhaps because of factual errors (O. s. japonica is not only the same species, but the same subspecies), and pointlessly negative personal opinion making up the rest of your comment.
