Japanese staple (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rice

'japanese staple' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rice that I've seen before include "Edible grains of grass" , "Cereal grown in paddy fields" , "Lyricist Tim - dramatist Elmer" , "Cereal food" , "Paddy field crop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Newsday.com.
