Today is a Japanese style lunch with fish, hijiki, soup, and rice. The hijiki salad was good as always. Today there were some noodles in it, which was interesting. Also, I was lucky and got a big piece of meat in it which was nice. The satsuma soup was quite an interesting experience. It is just the regular miso style soup we often get, but with some sweet potato chunk in it. If you eat it without the sweet potato it is just normal soup, but after taking a bite of sweet potato the soup comes to life and tastes even better. I liked that. Today’s fish, saba, was cooked in a sweet miso sauce which paired very well with the natural flavor of the fish. It was quite delicious!

Today is happousai, fried spring rolls, and salad. A Chinese-style menu. The salad was really good and I liked the tangy flavor of the dressing and the nice flavor from the sesame and ham. The happousai, or ‘Eight Treasure Vegetables’, was good. I like happousai but think it has a LOT of flavors and ingredients. All the flavors mix up so I don’t know how to describe it! I taste mostly the shrimp and squid though. Its great with rice. Today’s secret superstar is the fried spring roll though. The wrapper is salty and so good and crunchy I love it. The filling is nice and juicy and has great balance with the wrapper which is nice. I could eat like 20 of these I think haha. Great lunch!

Today something special has happened. Nikujaga has broken free from natto for the first time in the history of kyushoku! I walked past the menu and saw today’s menu was nikujaga, and knew that meant natto, but to see there was no natto was such a big surprise! The salad was excellent and the sweet sesame dressing was great. It was creamy, juicy, a little crunchy, and very hearty. The Tamagoyaki was very good too. It too, was sweet and juicy and very delicious. Japanese tamagoyaki always reminds me of French toast since it is so sweet and eggy. The nikujaga is like a masterpiece. The slippery and juicy noodles contrasted the potatoes and carrots which were filled with the delicious broth. Flavorful meat, onions, and green beans which have absorbed all the goodness from the soup were treasures as well. Today’s lunch was phenomenal and I am very happy. Top 10 if not a top 5. Certainly the best if not one of the best Japanese menus to date. Gochisousamadeshita!

Today is yaki soba day! Always a crowd pleaser. The seaweed salad was a little slimy as always but the crunch from the cucumbers, cabbage, and corn are nice and the flavors are a nice mix of sweetness and salty from the dressing. Today’s yaki soba was good as always. I got lucky today and had a fair amount of little pork chunks in it which was nice. For dessert we got a slice of white bread with some strawberry jam as well as yogurt. Bread and yogurt often come in a pair I notice which is quite interesting. I wonder if the nutritional content of bread and yogurt compliment each other. Either way I am a big fan and love kyushoku yogurt. It’s so sweet and creamy. Great lunch today!

Today is an Asian fusion style meal between Korean and Japanese food I think. Ika tendon and Kimchi tonjiru as well as a salad. The momitzuke salad is lightly flavored, but the sesame seeds are very good and add a lot of depth to it. It’s a personal favorite. The kimchi tonjiru is today’s secret champion since its warm and hearty and the flavors of the kimchi make the tonjiru really shine. It’s an excellent dish. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, the sauce for the ika tendon is seriously the best. I love that stuff. A wonderful lunch today. Thank you!
