～Lunch Report　By ALT～

Today is another very good lunch day! It has been a great week so far for lunches! Today is hakusai stew, cube salad, and agepan. The salad is called ‘Karikori Salad’ which means ‘Crispy crunchy salad’, but I call it cube salad because everything is shaped like a square or a cube. It is delicious and although the dressing is light, it pairs very well with the natural juiciness of the vegetables and the flavor of the ham slices. I love this salad. And of course it was very crunchy. The stew was very good and the flavor of the hakusai was quite strong among the creaminess of the soup itself. Agepan. I think it is a mystery. Everyone likes agepan and I think it is good, but it is difficult for me to eat without making a mess because it is so big! Today’s agepan has kinako powder on it and it was sweet and nice. What a wonderful lunch. I love every stew that comes with school lunch.

Today is another special Tochigi menu day.  Today’s menu is a power up Tochigi beef menu and it is absolutely decadent looking.  The soup was good and the crunchy texture of the ingredients cut into sticks was good.  The main menu of the day is the wagyu Tochigi Beef.  Wagyu in school lunch is unthinkable so this is a special treat!  So many special menus filled with delicious and rare ingredients in November and December.  We are very lucky.  The beef, onion, noodle, and carrot mix was transcendent.  The best beef I have ever eaten in school lunch and was perfectly seasoned as well.  The taste of the beef was like eating a large steak and the light sweetness and aftertaste of being cooked was perfect.  The whole thing was an umami festival in my mouth as well.  Wow what a great lunch.  This wagyu was no joke and this is easily the best kyushoku of the year.  Maybe one or two of the other special menus could come close, but the simplicity of a beef bowl with such high quality ingredients cannot be challenged and I will defend it against any other lunch this year so far. And after eating such a treasure as that, we also get a dessert as well.  The apple jelly was great and a nice cap to the meal.  Beautiful. Gochisousama Deshita to the best kyushoku of the year.

Today is a wonderful day!  It is mabo dofu day!  The namul was excellent and flavorful  I loved the crunch of the daikon strips and the tangy sesame goodness of the dressing.  Today’s mabo dofu was good and nice and hot.  I got a lot of tofu in mine today.  The dumplings might be the best part of today’s meal I think.  I like to put them into the mabo dofu to warm them up and add their flavor to it as well.  Great lunch today!

It’s curry udon day! Today I started with the gobo salad and it was delicious and sweet. I love the texture of gobo and the sweetness from the dressing and corn was quite fine. The ham and cheese picata was superb. The ‘stuffed’ egg dishes that come in kyushoku always feel like a roulette with what is inside and the flavor changes often so it’s a nice surprise. Today’s was very good. The curry udon was nice today and had a gentle spice to it which was good. The bread today was brown sugar bread and it had a light sweetness to it, which was nice. I think today’s theme was the color brown because the curry and bread were brown obviously, gobo is kind of brown, and the picata had some brown marks where it was cooked as well. I can’t say anything about the milk though! It was all white. A delicious meal.

ビビンバ　牛乳　えび団子スープ

Today’s menu has many Korean elements to it! Bibinba and shrimp ball soup. The greens for the bibinba were very nice and had a sesame flavor. The meat and root(?) mixture was excellently seasoned as always. I like the soy saucey flavors. The soup was very delicious with light flavors and an interesting texture from the noodles and vegetables. The shrimp balls were excellent and packed with flavor. A great lunch today!
