Japanese rice for all the skippers

Over the last few days we have seen quite a few selfie images of skippers with freeze-dried rice dishes accompanied by little notes: "Good wind, good sea", signed Kojiro Shiraishi, the Japanese skipper who is competing in his 3rd Vendée Globe.

Judging by their smiles, the skippers seem to love it! "It's a simple rice to prepare: you have to put hot water and wait 15 minutes or cold water and wait 60 minutes", Shota, the Japanese skipper's translator, explains "Kojiro offered some to the whole fleet, with two different flavors: plain or with seaweed." 

Sam Davies, who is particularly fond of it, even had a double dose: she "swapped" chocolates from her partner Les Chocolats du Cœur.fr!
