First day back after sports day and we get a yummy hayashi rice and tuna salad! The salad was nice and pretty hearty with lots of tuna and daikon radish. I like the sweetness the corn adds to the mostly tart dressing and fishy tuna flavor. The hayashi rice was nice and had a good flavor. It has a good balance of tomato and the vegetables are great too. I like how smooth it is. Last, was the La France Jelly. I think that it is pear flavored. It is delicious with a light sweet flavor. A nice change after the hayashi rice. Thank you!

Halloween is this Sunday so today is the Halloween menu.  We get karaage with lemon sauce, some soup with cute pumpkin Naruto, and delicious flower vegetable salad.  Lastly of course a yummy pumpkin babaloa dessert.  The salad was awesome and is one of my favorites.  This and the cube salad are maybe the best.  I love how juicy the flower veg salad is and enjoy how much dressing the broccoli and cauliflower soak up.  I like to make a chicken sandwich and use some of the remaining bread to soak up the yummy lemon sauce / dressing combo on the plate.  The harsame soup was great.  The little pumpkin shapes were really cute and the color of the soup in general really gave it a nice autumn vibe.  The lemon chicken was quite good and I adore the sweet and slightly sour sauce that comes with it.  I like it as a sandwich with school lunch, but want to try it right out of the fryer/oven some day in the future.  Last, the pumpkin babaloa was a very tasty little creamy dessert with some whipped cream on top as well.  Excellent lunch before sports day tomorrow!

Today is fish, salad, and soup.  The momizuke was quite good and I like to mix it with the sauce from the fish when I eat it giving it a bit more flavor.  The tonjiru is nice and hot with a light flavor.  The meat and vegetables are nice and its very good.  The iwashi was excellent and the sauce on it was fantastic.  It has almost a smoky flavor which is savory and a little bit sweet.  It’s quite good and great with rice of course.  A nice Japanese style lunch today.

Yes, one of the holy days of school lunch has arrived!  The daikon ham salad is such a great starter and delicious in all ways.  Super crunchy and juicy at the same time with a nice dressing that is complimented by the natural flavors of the ham.  Love this salad.  The omelet was nice and had pretty good flavor.  I liked to eat some of the bread along with it.  Of course today’s main event is the delicious macaroni stew.  I love it.  It is filled with plenty of delicious vegetables and chicken and so creamy and good.  Absolutely amazing.  Great lunch today!

Today is mabodofu and shumai with a kind of Japanese-style namul.  The vegetables have kind of a tart and tangy dressing as well as a nice sesame flavor.  The mabo was nice and hot.  I liked the tofu in it a lot and there was even a tiny bit of spice in there I feel which was nice.  The shrimp shumai were tasty and a nice contrast to the flavors of the salad and the mabo.  Nice lunch today!

Nice simple lunch today but with many ingredients.  The broccoli and cucumber salad is juicy and crunchy with great sesame flavors.  The tamagoyaki was sweet and fluffy.  I liked it along with rice and some of the sesame sauce left in the plate.  The daikon no nimono was fantastic. Nice and hot.  Great with rice and filled with nice juicy flavors.  The nimono and the sweet egg contrast each other really well making a nice set for the menu today.  Excellent lunch! Thank you!

Curry Udon and meatball sandwiches to end the week!  Nice!  The jako salad is always interesting with a slight fishiness from the little jako spread in it and the nice flavors from the sesame and aburaage.  Today’s cury udon is absolutely wonderful and has a great spice level.  I always feel like the curry udon is always spicier than the regular curry and rice.  The meatballs and bread together make an excellent sandwich which is great. Lovely lunch today!

Today is hoikoro and pominton! A yummy Chinese-style lunch which looks really good and smells great. The hoikoro is stellar and it is packed with so much meat and vegetables its great. The spices were also really good today too and the pepper was excellent and really stood out giving this dish some kick. Pominton is like the normal eggy kind of chinese soup, but filled with lots of corn which gives is a new level of flavor and depth. A seriously amazing lunch today which is rounded out by the cold and sweet aserora jelly which is refreshing. One of the best lunches all year and the first appearance of hoikoro in a long time I think.

Menchi Katsu Sandwich and sweet potato stew! Today is another one of those super-autumn school lunches. The menchi burger was super good and the crunch of the katsu along with the soft bread was a really enjoyable texture. The strong onion and meat flavors from the katsu were mellowed out by the bread and cabbage and also complimented by the sauce making the burger a super satisfying and tasty main dish. The stew was truly amazing. It was creamy and flavorful, filled with a nice variety of vegetables including sweet potato and even meat as well. I liked to go for some stew after a few bites of the sandwich to help with the bread and it was amazing. Any stew lunch is going to be delicious and today was no exception! Fantastic meal that I am quite thankful for.

Today is special local sato imo day with sanma.  I don’t really like sato imo very much because of the texture, but I do love sanma very much.  The komatsuna salad is quite delicious and juicy with a nice smoky flavor from the katsuoboshi.  The kenchin soup was actually quite delicious and the fresh local satoimo had a much less sticky texture than normal so it was much better than I was expecting.  It was actually quite creamy which was great.  The sanma was excellent if a little bit salty today.  I love the oily crispiness of the sanma and enjoyed it thoroughly with my rice.  Wonderful Japanese style lunch today!

Sanshokudon and Miso soup. I feel like we haven’t gotten sanshokudon in a long time so I am happy to see it today. The greens are super tasty and the sesame flavor is sweet and delicious. The egg and chicken mix is great as always and has a nice light soy sauce flavor which I love. The miso soup is good as well today and I enjoyed the potatoes especially. A classic school lunch menu and very nice and filling. Thank you!

Hamburg and cheesy potatoes!  What a blessing.  I immediately make a sandwich using the bread saving some for the jam.  I dig into the potatoes which are excellent and the cheesy goodness is great.  The hakusai soup had a very light flavor, but was packed with lots of vegetables and yummy clear noodles as well.  It was a good pair with the potatoes which might have been too dry without a little soup to help them along.  The hamburg was pretty good and had a kind of ketchuppy sauce which was alright!  I enjoyed it, but I think today’s MVP has to be the cheesy potatoes without a doubt.  The tochiotome jam and bread was a delicious desert for the end and great with milk too.  SO sweet and nice.  A great lunch today! Thank you and have a nice weekend!

Natto and Nikujaga day!  The natto was fine as usual, but I think the dashi that came with it was different.  It tasted slightly more salty or flavorful than usual. The daikon and cucumber salad was ok and nice after eating the natto to clear my mouth out.  The best bit of today’s lunch is the nikujaga of course.  It was great and packed with delicious flavor.  I didn’t taste much of the spiciness, but it was super good. The potatoes and noodles sucked up all the juicy flavors and exploded with deliciousness in my mouth.  Yum!

Fish, Dosanko soup, and hijiki today!  A nice Japanese menu on this rainy day.  The hijiki was quite good and a nice start to the meal.  I like the nice flavors and texture from the noodles and beans together with the seaweed.  The dosanko soup was excellent today.  The butter flavor was really delicious and there were a lot of carrots and bean sprouts.  It was nice to have with my rice while eating the fish.  The saba was meaty and satisfying with a nice sweetness from the miso.  It went perfectly with the rice.  Simple and classic school lunch today and one of the most delicious!

Today is a Chinese-style menu.  The salt and sesame cabbage salad is super good.  So delicious and very healthy.  The flavors are so great.  Speaking of great flavors, the stir fry with fried tofu was excellent as well.  Super delicious and the textures of the tofu were quite enjoyable.  The secret star of the day is the fried gyoza.  I love them and today they were super good with nice flavor from the onions and nira.  I like garlic in my gyoza and this was pretty close.  Although today my gyoza wasn’t very crispy, it was still really good.  But the edges of the gyoza were still crispy though.  One of the best menus for strong flavor today and it didn’t disappoint at all!

Curry and Rice!  Classic school lunch menu and at a great time!  The seaweed salad doesn’t have my favorite texture, but I quite like it and the dressing is nice and refreshing.  The curry was great as always and had a nice spice level.  Super delicious and warm on this sunny windy day.  Also, there were yummy sweet potatoes in it as well which was a nice surprise and I even found some chestnut chunks as well which were super nice.  Fall curry!  Lastly some yummy grape jelly with iron!  It was delicious and sweet and refreshing.  Lovely finish to the meal today.

Happy Friday and wonderful yaki soba to welcome the weekend! The tuna and veg salad was great. Nice and crunchy with a slightly sour dressing. The sweetness of the corn and umami of the tuna help to balance out the sour flavor giving it a well rounded finish. Today’s yakisoba was great as always and I was lucky and had plenty of meat in my portion today! The honey bread was delicious and good with milk and also the jelly too. Mikan and Honey bread was a nice touch at the end of the meal. Have a nice weekend!

Today is fish and shredded daikon.  The shredded daikon is ok!  It is pretty soggy, but the flavor is pretty good.  Today’s fish is kamasu.  We call kamasu barracuda in English.  Barracuda!  I don’t like it very much.  Everyone tells me that it is sweet and I think that is one reason why it doesn’t appeal to me.  My image of fish isn’t sweet and today my fish had a lot of bones in it too! Oh well!  The soup was kind of tonjiru style soup, but with a different name.  It was hot with a light flavor and I enjoyed it.  It also had satoimo which I don’t like either.  Kind of a bad luck day for me today with school lunch!  Still happy to get a nice lunch even though it had a few things I don’t like. Thank you!

Popeye Sautee and Baked chicken with Cheese!  What an amazing menu today!  Seriously recently kyuushoku has been nothing but super star level.  It is excellent.  I look forward to it every day so much!  The spinach sautee was great.  It has a nice sweet and buttery flavor almost with nice sweetness from the corn.  Baked chicken and bread day is the ideal day to make some yummy sandwiches.  They were delicious and there is a lot of cheese on them and the chicken is still quite juicy too.  A great combo.  The soup was simple, but good.  The hotdogs add a little variety to an otherwise regular veggie soup.  Today’s jam, however was far from ordinary.  It had a very light and nice flavor and a very velvety texture.  Super delicious and a nice sweet finish to the meal.

Stamina don and shrimp ball soup.  A great lunch.  I am so hungry today and this is the perfect meal for me today.  The stamina don was excellent and the juicy flavor of the soup/sauce that it is in really tastes great.  Packed full of meat and vegetables it is super hearty and satisfying.  Contrasting the strong flavors of the donburi is the wonderful shrimp ball soup.  The soup itself has a light flavor with yummy noodles, but the shimp balls are awesome and explode with shrimpy goodness.  Great lunch today!
