Today is a Japanese menu with sanma, miso soup, and dried daikon salad.  I don’t know how I really feel about the dried daikon.  It is sweet and pretty good, but the texture I think is too much for me sometimes.  It is tough to describe since it is a little bit crunchy but also soft and juicy at the same time.  It is a unique dish.  Today’s miso soup was good as always and I enjoyed the potatoes and onions in particular today.  Today’s main dish is the real superstar of the menu with sanma in plum sauce.  The plum sauce is tart and a little sweet and really makes the fish taste completely new and fresh.  It is great.  I was expecting the regular miso sauce that usually comes with it, but was pleasantly surprised at the sour and sweet flavor of the plums mixing so well with the fish.  The meat itself was cooked perfectly and the perfect texture between being soft and meaty.  What a treat hidden in plain sight.  The final treat in today’s lunch is the sweet little fruit gummies that we got as well.  Three little grape dots which were tougher than normal gummies but had a nice grape flavor.  A little sweet treat at the end of a nice meal.

Very unique school lunch today.  The ‘green potato’ is what my mother used to simply call parsley potatoes, a kind of drier mashed potato with a liberal mix of parsley  Mashed potatoes have to be one of my all time favorite foods and these are not bad.  I think they need salt and pepper, but they are still very good.  They pair well with the soup as well which is quite good.  The onion soup is really nice and has some good flavors.  The bacon adds a lot of good smokey flavors as well which is nice.  The sloppy joe is a super tasty sandwich and tastes very close to the ones I ate when I was younger.  Very interesting and delicious lunch today and satisfying as well.  It is so rainy and dreary today so having a nice lunch like this feels good.

Nice simple menu today.  A ginger pork stir fry and some shrimp ball soup!  The soup itself has a very light flavor, but when you take a bit of the shrimp meatballs the flavor explodes and its super delicious as a whole. The texture and juiciness of the spring noodles is great.  My favorite.  The stir fry’s ginger flavor is very strong today.  The meat and vegetables were plentiful as well and it was a great main dish with rice.  Super filling and I feel like I could eat a lot of it!  Fantastic meal today! Thank you!

Interesting looking lunch today.  Lots of vibrant colors and a variety of styles as well.  I look forward to it greatly.  The tuna and spinach salad was quite nice.  Very juicy and mushy, but flavorful and delicious with little crunchy pops of sweetness from the corn.  The wonton soup was delicious and I love the juicy noodles and the taste of the soup as well.  Hot and yummy.  I love today’s bread and hamburg combo because if you cut the hamburg lengthwise in half it fits perfectly on the bread making for a nice little hamburg sandwich!  An interesting and delicious lunch which was very satisfying.  Yummy!

Today is ikatendon!  The broccoli sesame salad was delicious.  It had a nice creamy sweet flavor from the dressing and the sesame seeds which was juicy and satisfying soaked into the broccoli.  Today’s tonjiru soup reminds me a little bit of the dosanko soup, satisfying and filling with many healthy ingredients like cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and tofu.  The ikaten was good and the wonderful sauce really gives it the unique and nice flavor.  I always put my ikaten on my rice before I put sauce on it so the extra sauce flows into the rice making it super flavorful.  A nice lunch on a windy and sunny day!
