Popeye sautee and teriyaki chicken with pork and beans too.  A nice menu.  The popeye salad, named after the popular character is loaded with boiled spinach with some bits of corn and meat as well.  It is quite nice and has a lightly smokey flavor.  Maybe it was because the chicken and salad got a little mixed up?  I like to use the bread to make a chicken sandwich and some for my apple jelly so I split it in half.  The teriyaki chicken sandwich was amazing and the flavors on the chicken were very good.  It pairs perfectly with the bread and makes a really nice sandwich.  I also like to use some of my bread to dip into the pork and beans.  The soup was nice as well and had a tomato base.  I like the texture of the beans very much as well.  I used the apple jelly to make a jelly sandwich and it was absolutely delicious and perfect with milk.  The apple flavor is light, but very enjoyable and sweet to conclude the meal.  Thank you!

Today is Fish and Kinpira.  The renkon kinpira was quite good with a sweet flavor and a nice crunch.  The sesame seeds are a nice touch.  I usually move my fish onto my rice and like to mix the miso sauce with my kinpira to give it some extra flavor.  It was nice.  The soup, sawaniwan, was nice and hot.  It has very light flavors compared to the fish and kinpira, but was a nice side dish.  The iwashi was amazing, cooked perfectly, and the miso sauce tasted sweet and savory.  I really love the miso sauce that is added to the fish.  A very yummy lunch today!

Taco rice on this rainy and chilly day.  The taco rice was superb to put it simply.  I mixed all the cabbage and meat sauce and rice in my bowl and enjoyed it like that.  The boiled cabbage still had enough water in it so that it helped to temper the spiciness of the meat sauce and added a crunchy element as well.  This is quite the interesting dish and very good.  Authentic taco flavors!  Completely contrasting that powerful full flavored rice dish is the more gentle tofu and wakame soup.  Since the taco rice has such strong flavors, the more subtle and Japanese flavors of the soup are easier to discern allowing me to taste them clearly.  An interesting pair that works together surprisingly well!  The jelly for dessert was delicious and had a sweetened grapefruit flavor.  It was very enjoyable and strong enough to refresh my pallet despite having enjoyed the heavily yet deliciously flavored taco rice!  Excellent meal today!  I am full!

Yakisoba and anpan!  We rarely if ever see anpan so I am excited to try it.  The daikon and ham salad is a winner everytime and today is no different.  I really think it’s the umami of the ham and sour and salty flavors of the dressing that really make it so delicious.  The yakisoba was delicious and the noodles had a nice soft texture.  Quite good.  There was a little crunchy texture from the carrots and cabbage as well here and there which was nice.  The anpan was excellent!  Good texture and a nice level of sweetness.  Why don’t we have anpan for school lunch more?  ANPAN REVIVAL!

Nikujaga & tofu. The komastsuna salad was delicious. The smoky katsuoboshi really lends a nice flavor to the vegetables. Before I jumped into the nikujaga I prepared and ate my tofu. It was so smooth and creamy and flavorful. It is very high quality tofu which is great. The soy sauce that came with it was very good as well. The nikujaga was perfect. Seriously kyushoku nikujaga is so filled with delicious umami and sweet flavors and has so many noodles and vegetables it is phenomenal. So hot and filling, it is perfect for the cold and rainy weather today. Lovely lunch!
