Japanese navy's WWII canned rice found in near-perfect condition

One of several cans of "sekihan" red bean rice made over 70 years ago during World War II for the Imperial Japanese Navy is opened and found to be in near-perfect condition on July 30, 2015, in Tonosho on Shodo-shima island, Kagawa Prefecture, western Japan. A total of 17 such cans were discovered in 2011 at a former soy sauce shop's warehouse in the town. The 415-gram canned rice was possibly preserved food for the navy's special attack unit that had a base nearby during wartime. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
