お米が消えた日を思い出した

昨日、Amazonから配送中のお知らせがメールで届いた。はて？何を注文したんだろう？覚えがない。　注文履歴を確認したら、あのお米がスーパーマーケットから消えた時、あちこち探して、４キロで4000円もするけど、地震の心配あったので、背に腹は変えられないということで、注文していた雑穀米だった。真空パックなので、長期保存が可能だからいいけど驚いた。

Yesterday, I received an email notification from Amazon saying that a package was on its way. Huh? What did I order? I couldn't remember. When I checked my order history, it turned out to be that multigrain rice I had ordered. Back when that particular rice disappeared from supermarkets, I searched everywhere and ended up ordering it despite the high price—4 kilograms for 4,000 yen—because I was concerned about potential earthquakes and had no choice. Since it’s vacuum-packed and can be stored for a long time, it’s fine, but I was still surprised.
