In case you run out

I've seen a lot of interesting vending machines in my time in Japan.  I've even written two blog posts about it!  (Part 1 and Part 2)  Yet, I still run across new and interesting ones periodically. 

Recently, I was on a bike ride and rode past a rice vending machine.  I've always said rice is absolutely everywhere.  Apparently it is even in machines!  I was so intrigued that I turned around to check it out. 

It is unusual to find brown rice here (although it isn't unheard of), so I was extra surprised to see it in the machine.
