Thanks yadoo86.

I understand the expressions "Korean rice" and "the rice in Korea", but I find "the rice of Korea" somewhat odd.
Your explanation, "the rice that Korea has", seems correct to me. But then, what is the rice belongs to the country Korea ...?
"the rice of Korea" also sounds like a title of an award or a special brand of rice...

Any comments on this?
