Last school lunch of the school year!  I am very sad about that.  Today is udon and a hot dog.  A nice lunch.  The hot dog is a classic lunch menu item we get once every two or three months and it comes with some nice lightly boiled cabbage which gives some sweetness and a crunch to the dog and a packet of ketchup to put on the sausage.  It was good and has a light smokey flavor to it which I enjoy.  I thought today’s udon was good as well and nice and hot.  It had a strong flavor from the tofu and was delicious.  Wonderful lunch and I look forward to eating more next year!  Thanks for everything!

After a nice 3 day weekend coming back to school lunch is always a pleasure.  This is the last week for school lunch before the end of the school year.  The salad was a simple momiduke with a nice bright flavor from the ginger they add in with the pickles and a little bit of extra goodness from the sesame seeds making it a really pleasing and refreshing start to the meal.  The shrimp ball soup is a tasty harusame soup with super yummy shrimp meat balls that are so good and add a nice dimension of flavor to the whole thing.  The oroshi hamburg is a nice meaty treat and the sauce on it was pretty good.  It was almost sweet compared to the soup and quite enjoyable.  A nice lunch today that helps warm you up on this chilly snowy day!

Big lunch today.  Katusdon!  The katsu are huge and crispy and delicious.  The sauce that comes with them are great as well adding a lot of classic flavor.  The nameko soup was pretty good too!  It was a great pair with the katsu and really nice to keep the powerful flavors of the katsu under control since it has earthy taste from the mushrooms and daikon and carrots.  Also we got a nice strawberry dessert which was sweet and yummy.  Today’s katsu was so huge and delicious though that nothing can really top it!  Such a great lunch!

Today’s lunch is a minestrone soup, broccoli salad, and gratin. The salad was excellent and reminded me of a mix of the tuna salad and the cube salad and the flowering veggies salad. There were some bits of cheese in it and the tuna married everything together quite well. The minestrone soup was filled with lots of amazing veggies and beans and had a very gentle tomato flavor. The noodles in it were nice. The gratin was in a savory tart shell and was super good. Anything that you get for school lunch in one of these tart shells is always delicious and today is no exception! The shell itself is quite good and has a nice crunch which goes well with the yummy gratin filing which was creamy and nice. Lastly, we also got a nice roll of honey bread which was a nice snack for me after the meal to enjoy with my milk. Wonderful lunch today! It has been a while since we’ve seen anything in a tart shell.

Today is another 6th grade select kyushoku.  Baked cheese and chicken, miso ramen, daikon and ham salad, MARSHAL BEANS with bread, and a jelly dessert too.  The salad is great and the really good part about it is the juicy crunch and that amazing dressing.  It has a lot of flavor and really excites the tongue.  I used half of my bread as always to make a little chicken sandwich and it was great.  Today’s chicken was great and had a nice little char on it which told me they baked it well.  It wasn’t overdone or burnt, but had some extra flavor in there almost like it was cooked on a BBQ.  Excellent.  The ramen was pretty good too.  I liked it and towards the end when I got to the bottom of the bowl I found a lot of nice spiciness so the last few drinks of the broth had a more powerful flavor.  The marshal beans bread is amazing as always and the dessert was a strawberry jelly with a nice dollop of whipped cream on top.  Great combo and a great lunch!  The 6th graders know how to pick them!  Thank you!

Today is back to normal kyushoku.  Fish in miso sauce and tonjiru with kinpira on the side.  A great menu.  The kinpira was hearty and good with a nice sweet flavor.  It also absorbs a little of the sauce from the fish as well since they are served on the same plate.  The suiton soup was quite good as well and had a nice flavor and the glutinous suiton were chewy and nice.  I like this soup.  Today’s fish was amazing and the miso sauce was delicious.  Great school lunch.  I am still looking forward to more 6th grade select kyushoku meals though since they are so good!

Today is a special lunch menu chosen by 6th grade students!  Great choice!  Kimchi soup, karaage with lemon sauce, and MILMAKE!  I haven’t milmake in a long time since it isn’t a regular appearance on the lunch menu and love this stuff.  I thought it was a sauce, but it is a powder this time.  Cool!  The seaweed salad was quite good and the dressing delicious as well.  I love the corn in it.  The kimchi soup was tremendous as always.  I love that spice and flavor with all those vegetables.  Perfect with rice.  Today’s fried chicken was also amazing.  There are many varieties of fried chicken that come up once and a while, but I will admit the lemon is my favorite too.  Great choice by class 6-3 on this lunch.  That, and they also asked for ice cream and we got it!  Vanilla Haagen-dazs, what a rich treat!  I saved my milmake as well for the end and enjoyed it and the ice cream together.  Ultra chocolate vanilla creamy goodness.  I feel very accomplished for doing that haha.  There are two more select kyushoku days coming up and I wonder which one will be the best!  Today was truly great.

It has been about a week since we had school lunch!  I am glad it’s back.  Today is stew and sautéed spinach with an omelet.  The spinach was pretty good and tasted fine.  I like the slight smoky flavor the ham bits add to it and the sweetness of the corn too.  Today’s stew is hakusai stew and it is amazing.  The hakusai itself has a lightness and sweetness to it and the stew itself tastes savory and delicious.  Onions and carrots bulk it up and it is a delicious and filling treat.  The omelet was good and had a meaty kind of tomato filling inside which was nice.  Today also sees a miraculous two desserts! Anpan and a lemon jelly.  The anpan was great and perfectly prepared and had a good amount of red bean inside of it which was very enjoyable.  The jelly as well had a great lemon flavor and was very refreshing after the fairly heavy meal.  Wonderful lunch and great to be able to eat it again!  Thank you!

Mabodofu day!  Today’s harusame salad was very good.  It feels like a new salad, because I think there is something different abut it.  Maybe it is the cucumbers or little slices of ham or no agedofu, but it seems different.  Very fresh today.  The manju was pretty good and after letting it sit in my mabo dofu for a while they warmed up nicely.  Lots of meat in the and plenty of onion flavor too.  Today’s tofu was ultra hot which was nice, but I wasn’t ready for it so I burned my tongue a little bit.  Lovely and filling meal today!

The last day of February and getting closer to the conclusion of the 3rd semester.  Today we have fried fish, momiduke, and soup.  The momizuke was as good as ever, with a fresh crunch and a hint of ginger I think.  But today there was a fair amount of sesame seeds which was really delicious and added another layer of flavor.  Today’s tonjiru is excellent and packed with flavor.  The daikon radish was so juicy I loved it.  The fish was amazing as well.  Super crunchy and satisfying to bite and the inside was juicy and nice.  The sauce pairs with it perfectly of course and it was a delicious meal.  Wonderful welcome back to school today!

Today is an awesome lunch menu! Spaghetti and Italian salad with a bread roll and some mikan jam. The Italian salad is perhaps the best salad of all kyushoku salads. Maybe the cube salad is a bit better but only because it has cheese in it. It is crunchy, refreshing, and juicy with an awesome dressing and rare ingredients like red bell pepper and shrimp. The spaghetti is good as always and the meat sauce is quite tasty. The flavor is there, kind of sweet, but just savory enough to not me overpowering and there are shreds of carrot and some peas in there as well. It’s wonderful and plentiful! Lastly the mikan jam was delicious and sweet with a really nice citrus flavor. I use some of my breadroll to dip in the sauce and some for the dessert. It was an amazing lunch and a perfect sendoff for the week.

Today is 2.22.22!  Wow!  Today we commemorate that wonderful date with natto and oden. Today’s natto was fine.  I like the mustard the best.  Today’s salad was another mushy one.  I usually rely on the crunchy fresh salad to counteract the natto’s sliminess, but no luck today.  It was mostly seaweed and pretty good either way.  The oden was pretty good today and quite enjoyable.  My favorite oden is the knot of noodles, the egg, the hot dog in tofu, the tofu bag with mochi in it, and the daikon radish.  Today we got a daikon so I was happy about that.  A fine lunch today!

The udon was pretty good too and nice and hot. I like the tofu bits in it since its super juicy and has a nice sweetness to it as well. Overall today was a great menu and was a super nice conclusion to the week. Excellent week for kyushoku.

This is a new flavor and we usually get the lemon or Korean variation, but the nira is an excellent pairing. Fried perfectly with a nice crunch and delicious juicy chicken, the nira and sauce that it was cooked in brings a really like onion, garlic flavor which tastes more like karaage you get at a restaurant. It is really good and great with rice. Even the wonton soup today feels powered up. It has a nice flavorful broth and lots of delicious wontons and veggies inside which give it a lot more punch and texture. Such a great lunch today, I love these karaage and the wonton and rice are wonderful alongside them.
