haven't seen japonica often in the US, but jasmine rice is similar and available pretty much everywhere.

in fact, jasmine rice smells and tastes better, and stickier!

maybe I mis-understood what you meant by similar here but jasmine rice is nothing at all like japanese rice.

They have a completely different consistency when cooked and are used for different things.
