Today is fried fish with suitonjiru soup.  The salad was delicious and juicy with some sesame flavor.  The natural flavors of the vegetables and spinach are great.  The grilled fish was delicious and perfectly fried.  Crispy and nice with lots of meaty goodness inside.  The soup in particular surprised me with the little mochi balls and that is when I realized what suiton was.  I had forgotten!  Very delicious and nice lunch today.

First day of October and a wonderful day for school lunch.  Marshall beans and pasta!  The salad was good and had a lot of dressing on it.  I liked the cheese in particular for giving it a creamier texture.  The ham and cheese are a great flavor combination as well.  The breadroll was perfect for cleaning up the plentiful dressing left over after finishing it.  Today’s pasta is an oil based spaghetti with meat and mushrooms in it.  It it quite delicious

What have we done to deserve such a wonderful blessing!? I don’t know, but today’s lunch is another wonderful present. The ultra-flavorful and satisfying lemon karaage. The momizuke is quite good with a nice sesame flavor, but some of the chicken’s lemon flavor mixed with it making it super delicious. A nice preview of what’s to come later in the meal. The soup was awesome and juicy. The flavor was quite good and the nira really added a lot of depth to it. The karaage was perfect and the lemon sauce was super good adding some sweetness and sour flavors to the well fried chicken. I ate it with rice and enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you as always!

Almost like a reward after eating my natto yesterday, today’s lunch is absolutely amazing.  Steak and potatoes!  Well, hamburg and cheesy potatos which is just as good.  The potatos are amazing.  They look like they would be very dry, but are fairly moist and the cheese adds such a nice flavor as well.  It is great with the gravy sauce from the hamburg.  The vegetable soup was a little plain, but it is kind of taking the place of the salad in today’s menu.  Dipping the rice bread into it is quite nice.  The hamburg steak itself was excellent and the demi-glace sauce was so good.  Such a good menu today.  I enjoyed it thoroughly!

The day has come.  Natto.  I ate it very quickly and proceeded to drink lots of milk and eat plenty of rice.  Next up is the jakko salad.  The crispy tofu is good and the dressing is nice as well.  Cuts through that natto stickiness and refreshes my mouth to enjoy the rest of the meal.  Usually we have nikujaga on natto day, but today they named it jagaimosoboroni.  Which is basically nikujaga with a different meat in it haha.  It is excellent and the saving grace for the meal.  I love how hearty and juicy it is.  It is thicker than a stew thanks to the potatoes having thickened up the sauce.  It has some sweetness but is otherwise a delicious savory treat.  I love it.  Besides dealing with my enemy, natto, today was a nice meal!  Thank you.

Fish, hijiki, and kimchi tonjiru day! A mixed menu, but one that always tastes great. The sweetness of the hijiki is delicious and I really like the beans and meat bits as well. The kimchi tonjiru was tasty and warmed me up. I like the flavor of the kimchi with the soup. The saba in miso sauce is the absolute best and so great. Such delicious flavor with umami and saltiness but mixed with that sweet and savory miso sauce. I love it. Great lunch today.

After the nice holiday we are back at school for one more day! And I am glad to be here because this lunch is super delicious. Menchi katsu and tomato soup! The broccoli salad was awesome and the dressing with it refreshing and creamy too. I love how crunchy and juicy the salad is. The tomato and egg soup was hot and flavorful. Today’s main dish was the menchi katsu and I made it into a sandwich using the breadroll. The katsu was great, fried well, and totally crunchy. The meat filing inside was good and it went well with the bread. Lovely lunch today.

Today is an excellent menu and how I know that autumn is coming soon!  Macaroni stew! And cube salad!  Crunchy cube salad is so fun to eat and delicious with the nice sour tangy dressing and yummy ham.  All the crunchy cucumbers and daikon and carrots make it delicious and satisfying.  The tomato and meat omlette was a tasty treat and the meat sauce was pretty good.  The super star of the day of course is the macaroni stew.  So hearty and with such a creamy texture and flavor it can’t be beat.  It’s got meat and mushrooms adding a lot of depth.  Today’s bread was honeybread and its light sweetness adds something nice when drinking milk or dipping into the stew.  It was a great lunch today and I am super full! Thank you!

Japanese menu celebrating the full moon tonight! How lovely. The salad was good, and had a nice flavor. I don’t know how to describe it really, but it had hints of sesame and some flavoring similar to wakame. The soup was good, with a very light rooty flavor, but has too much satoimo for my liking. Also it had cute little Naruto fish disks that were supposed to be a yellow moon with a white rabbit on it, but I thought it was a tooth at first! Hah! Now I can’t see anything but a tooth. Sorry! I think that the best part of the meal was the sanma though by far. The tangy and sweet sauce was perfect and I could eat that forever. So delicious and juicy.　Last, was a yummy jelly with a little jelly bunny. Sweet and delicious!

Meat sauce spaghetti and tuna salad.  A classic kyushoku menu.  The tuna salad has a nice texture with crunchiness and juiciness as well as a great flavor from the dressing and tuna.  This is a great salad and I am always happy to enjoy it.

Sanshokudon!  This is a great menu today.  Today’s kenchin soup was good with a very light flavor but it was enjoyable.  I liked the juiciness of the cabbage.  The sanshokudon is great as always and the sweetness and nice sesame flavor on the spinach is excellent.  The chicken and egg mixture is also super good with great flavors.  There isn’t a lot to say from me about this menu other than how much I like it.  Thank you!

Ajifry!  I love the fried fish in school lunch and today we get some nice miso soup and the absolutely delicious konsai salad.  This salad is a creamy crunchfest!  So good and satisfying to eat and the flavors are perfect.  In particular the lotus root and gobo are my favorite.  The gomoku miso soup was also great today as well.　I really liked the big slices of tofu which had a nice crust on them.  They were excellent.  Finally, the perfectly fried and crispy ajifry was delicious and also juicy on the inside.  The sauce was nice and my rice disappeared quickly.  Today was a really nice lunch and very satisfying from the beginning to the very end.  Thank you!

Curry and Rice!  A classic menu on a lovely day.  The kaisou salad was nice and had a delicious dressing.  It tasted a little bit like plum and I saw something pinkish red in my salad so I think it was umeboshi.  The pork curry was hot and delicious and had a fair spice level.  It was stewed to perfection and went perfect with rice.  Very enjoyable.  Finally the delicious yogurt was creamy sweet and great.  I love this yogurt so much and it’s a refreshing end to the meal.

Today is a Chinese-style menu with jinjaros and niramanju.  The flavor of the jingaros is out of this world and goes perfectly with rice.  I could eat this forever.  Great texture with juiciness and crunch the whole time.  The ‘pominton’ soup is good and also a new menu item I think.  It is like a mixture of the cloudy soup and a corn soup and a very delicious mix.  I quite like it!  The nira manju was excellent as well with great flavor from the nira which pumped the meaty filling full of flavor.  A really good lunch today with a great variety of strong and delicious flavors.  Can’t beat it!

Hot dogs and chanpon noodles! The hot dogs are tasty and the cabbage is quite nice. I appreciate the delicious and soft buns. The noodles were super good and very filling. I enjoy the thick texture of the noodles and the delicious taste of the broth. I don’t like the squid very much, but overall the dish is very good. A nice lunch!

Ginger pork today!  The ginger pork has great flavor and is filled with delicious vegetables and wonderful textures, not to mention that it goes perfect with rice.  The shrimp ball soup was nice and hot today for me.  The broth had a nice flavor and I could taste a lot of pepper today and it was good.  I love pepper.  The juicy noodles and ultra meaty and yummy shrimp balls make it almost as hearty as today’s main dish.  A delicious lunch!

Popeye sautee and teriyaki chicken with pork and beans too.  A nice menu.  The popeye salad, named after the popular character is loaded with boiled spinach with some bits of corn and meat as well.  It is quite nice and has a lightly smokey flavor.  Maybe it was because the chicken and salad got a little mixed up?  I like to use the bread to make a chicken sandwich and some for my apple jelly so I split it in half.  The teriyaki chicken sandwich was amazing and the flavors on the chicken were very good.  It pairs perfectly with the bread and makes a really nice sandwich.  I also like to use some of my bread to dip into the pork and beans.  The soup was nice as well and had a tomato base.  I like the texture of the beans very much as well.  I used the apple jelly to make a jelly sandwich and it was absolutely delicious and perfect with milk.  The apple flavor is light, but very enjoyable and sweet to conclude the meal.  Thank you!

Today is Fish and Kinpira.  The renkon kinpira was quite good with a sweet flavor and a nice crunch.  The sesame seeds are a nice touch.  I usually move my fish onto my rice and like to mix the miso sauce with my kinpira to give it some extra flavor.  It was nice.  The soup, sawaniwan, was nice and hot.  It has very light flavors compared to the fish and kinpira, but was a nice side dish.  The iwashi was amazing, cooked perfectly, and the miso sauce tasted sweet and savory.  I really love the miso sauce that is added to the fish.  A very yummy lunch today!

Taco rice on this rainy and chilly day.  The taco rice was superb to put it simply.  I mixed all the cabbage and meat sauce and rice in my bowl and enjoyed it like that.  The boiled cabbage still had enough water in it so that it helped to temper the spiciness of the meat sauce and added a crunchy element as well.  This is quite the interesting dish and very good.  Authentic taco flavors!  Completely contrasting that powerful full flavored rice dish is the more gentle tofu and wakame soup.  Since the taco rice has such strong flavors, the more subtle and Japanese flavors of the soup are easier to discern allowing me to taste them clearly.  An interesting pair that works together surprisingly well!  The jelly for dessert was delicious and had a sweetened grapefruit flavor.  It was very enjoyable and strong enough to refresh my pallet despite having enjoyed the heavily yet deliciously flavored taco rice!  Excellent meal today!  I am full!

Yakisoba and anpan!  We rarely if ever see anpan so I am excited to try it.  The daikon and ham salad is a winner everytime and today is no different.  I really think it’s the umami of the ham and sour and salty flavors of the dressing that really make it so delicious.  The yakisoba was delicious and the noodles had a nice soft texture.  Quite good.  There was a little crunchy texture from the carrots and cabbage as well here and there which was nice.  The anpan was excellent!  Good texture and a nice level of sweetness.  Why don’t we have anpan for school lunch more?  ANPAN REVIVAL!
