I always try to make sure I never eat anything that's so hot it causes physical pain on the way down. No, white rice causes it because, when it's steamed, it kinda clumps together. Which is great for getting it onto your chopsticks, but bad when it clumps back together on the way down even if you chew it excessively before swallowing. It makes it so that halfway down your esophagus you feel this weird ball form.in your chest and it just causes this painful pressure. Hence why white rice should always be eaten with a condiment of some sort. I like to do teriyaki sauce.
