In feudal Japan, the masu was a measure of rice that would feed one person for a day, not something to swill sake out of.

I. Am. Having. An Idea.

Forty masu. Feeding people who REALLY need it.

That's true--and millet is actually more nutritious than rice anyway, even if the daimyo wouldn't eat it.
