Use
Rice is eaten in several ways in Japan, as plain rice "gohan" (ご飯?, lit. "cooked rice" or "meal of any sort") or often with a topping of furikake (ふりかけ), nattō (納豆) or nori (海苔), as well as for sushi (寿司). Leftover rice is often reused as ochazuke (茶漬け) (rice with green tea) or chāhan (チャーハン) (fried rice).
Rice is also used to make alcoholic drinks like sake (日本酒), rice vinegar, snacks such as senbei (煎餅), rice crackers, and agemochi (揚げ餅).

Famous quotes containing the word use:
“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
