| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | cooked rice pack |
| Reference | http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/包装米飯

| Comment | These cooked rice packs are prepared sterilely so that they can be stored for months at room temperature. A 200 gram pack can be heated in a microwave oven in 2 minutes. Although the Wikipedia article appears to claim that they were invented in 1987, I first became aware of them about 1997, and they are now available in practically every Japanese supermarket. |

| Editorial Comment | I put that on after your suggestion (22 Mar.) Putting "uk" on sense 1 sort-of implies that all senses are uk, so I wanted to avoid that impression. |
