Today is a Japanese style menu with some fish, dosanko soup, and hijiki.  Today’s hijiki was juicy and warm and quite good.  I liked the little meaty bits and the noodles in it as well.  It has a nice sweet and earthy flavor.  I always move my fish on to my rice and there is usually sauce left behind.  I ate the remaining hijiki juice and miso sauce with some rice before enjoying my soup.  The miso sauce is sweet and delicious. The dosanko soup is phenomenal and the flavors are always great.  It is a buttery and savory soup with all the good vegetables that I love.  Hokkaido knows what they are doing!  Today’s fish, iwashi, is a little bitter but the miso and sesame sauce is perfect and pairs with it making the bitter taste less intense.  I love the miso sauce and today’s fish is soft and well cooked too.  Great meal today!  Love that dosanko so much!

Today is yaki soba and salad day with bread and jam.  The salad was delicious and bright and had great flavors.  Today it tasted like there was a special ingredient like ginger or something in it.  Today’s yaki soba felt extra juicy and there was a lot of yummy sauce.  I like to use some of the crust from the bread to soak up the salad dressing and yaki soba sauce on the plate.  The bread and jam was great to finish the meal with the yogurt as well.  A nice classic school lunch today!  Thank you!

Dreaded Natto day.  I quickly dispatched it and followed it up with plenty of rice and some jako salad.  The Jako salad is quite unique and delicious.  Its dressing is very acidic and its strong flavor is refreshing and cuts through the sticky and slimy natto coating in my mouth which rice cannot wash away.  But then finally the nikujaga.  Today’s nikujaga is labeled as ‘pirikara’ meaning it is slightly spicy.  I am thankful for the sweetness and delicious flavors which boiled into the meat and potatoes and noodles.  The sweet and juicy onions and soft carrots are a dream to enjoy all filled with flavor.  And all the while time to time I get a nice little crunchy surprise from the gobo chunks and beans.  A true thrill for my mouth and really the saving grace of today’s menu.  Thank you nikujaga.

Today is korokke!  The kanpyo salad is delicious and the flavor of the ham and the creamy dressing is quite nice.  The corn especially goes well with the dressing.  The spring noodle soup is amazing and tastes very nice.  The flavor is fairly well developed and has some nice umami to it.  Today’s korokke is quite crunchy and warm.  I found the flavor quite light and it was fried very nicely.  The rice bread is delicious and the texture fantastic.  Komekopan is so unique and delicious.  There is no denying how delicious and tasty the jam is and with the rice bread it is only better. It honestly feels like kenmin day part two because of the tochiotome jam and locally sourced pork korokke as well.  Quite a delicious meal today.

Today is Tochigi Citizens day.  The kinpira made from ingredients from Tochigi was delicious and sweet.  I love the gobo.  The fish today is Ayukonroni.  It was very sweet and delicious and quite good!  It even still had its head and face intact which I am learning to enjoy more and more.  I like the crunchy goodness even though it is a bit bitter.  The miso soup was as good as always.  The citizens day dessert was amazing.  Delicious strawberries and fresh sweet whipped cream.  Super duper delicious and I would eat like 5 of these if I had the chance!  Fantastic lunch today!
