Back for another week of yummy lunches. This week kicks off with the delicious happosai. Today’s salad was great and had a nice dressing which went well with the ham. It was juicy too. The happosai has a very strong mix of flavors and the squid always stands out to me, but it is filled with many yummy veggies and meats. It’s great with rice too. The shumai were yummy as well and had a nice meaty and oniony flavor. A lovely lunch today and one that filled me up quite nicely.

Friday! Yay! Today we have a manchi katsu, potof, tuna salad, and a pair of strawberries! The tuna salad was excellent as always with a nice crunchy bite and a delicious bright dressing mixed with the yummy tuna. I made a menchi katsu sandwich and it was amazing. The katsu today was super duper crunchy and the insides were hot, meaty, and had a nice onion flavor. The potof was tasty and had a nice light flavor which complimented the bread and katsu. Today’s strawberries were super sweet and delicious. Some of the best I have had in a while! And in school lunch too! Yummy!

Today is Setsubun, or ‘Throwing Beans Day’. A traditional change in the season from the winter months headed into spring where we throw beans and banish demons from our homes and lives! Today’s salad was packed with flavor from the bonito and it was smokey and juicy. A kind of odd combination, but delicious. The daikon stew was pretty good! The earthy and slightly bitter daikon flavor was calmed down by the flavors and other veggies and was quite delicious. Today’s real MVP was the fish though. It was perfectly cooked and super flavorful. The ginger flavor was excellent and went perfectly with rice. This is one of the best fish we get in school lunch and it was great today. Last, as a final snack, the lucky bean assortment. It is a little snack pack with kakipeas, lucky beans, and crunchy little fish and such with a little bit of a sweet coating. It was alright. A nice conclusion to the meal. Out with the demons and in with the luck!

Yaki soba and ham daikon salad. Great menu today. The ham and daikon salad is great as always and has such a delicious mix of crunchy, sweet, sour, and umami flavors. It’s so good and wakes my mouth up for the yaki soba party that is coming. The yaki soba today was quite good and had a good amount of flavor from the sauce. I got a lot of meat in mine today so I feel lucky. The kokuto bread was sweet and delicious too. I mostly enjoyed it at the end of the meal with my milk. A lovely meal that filled me up!

Yeah! Sanshokudon! And some yummy soup with salmon balls too. The sanshokudon is absolutely delicious. The egg/chicken mix is tasty and the greens are tasty and flavorful with a nice juicy sesame flavor. I just mix it up with the rice and go crazy, I love this. The soup was simple and delicious with vegetables and those amazing salmon balls. The salmon gives the soup a different level of depth and the meat is great as well. After the exciting world school lunch week, it is nice to go back to the classics to remember how good they are.

January is already at an end. Only about 2 months left of the school year! Only two more months of school lunch. Today we have a wonderful ajifry as well as hijiki. A tasty classic and it does not disappoint. The hijiki is good and the aburaage is juicy and filled with flavor. That and the nice chunks of meat added in alongside the beans makes it a pretty good salad. We also got a soup as well, kenchin soup. It has a very light flavor and is filled with lots of veggies and tofu. It is the cool down menu item after having bites of the powerful ajifry. The ajifry was super crunchy, fried perfectly, and had a nice fairly gentle fishy flavor and on the inside a soft texture.

The last day of world lunch week. Today is Germany. We get a hot dog with sauerkraut-style cabbage and a potato stew. I tried the sauerkraut first since I had a talk about it with the nutritionist. It was very good and reminded me of the momizuke. The hotdog itself was delicious and great with a little ketchup and mustard along with the kraut. The real superstar of the menu today though is this potato soup. Seriously all kyushoku stew is delicious and I will stand by that claim, but today was a masterpiece. The depth of flavor is wonderful and the vegetables and ingredients were prefect. An amazing lunch and a perfect meal to conclude the week! Thank you!

I just realized today that this week is ‘World Menu Week’ for school lunches. That makes sense. Today’s lunch is an homage to what school lunch was like when Japan first began the school lunch program. A simple meal of momizuke, grilled fish, and miso soup with flavored seaweed on the side. The momizuke was delicious, crunchy, and fresh! The soup was quite flavorful and tasty. The aburaage was juicy and salty. The nori was a nice addition to the rice as well adding some sweetness. I also really enjoyed the salmon as well. It went great with the rice and was quite tasty. Wonderful meal today. Thank you!

Another new menu today! Daal (beans) curry and naan bread with a cauliflower salad. The salad was excellent. Reminding me of the flowering veggie salad, but this has cheese and some tunafish in it as well. Very good. The curry was great as well. When Indian style curry comes up in kyushoku it has a different base flavor and is a nice change of pace. The spiciness was decent and it had plenty of beans as well which were quite enjoyable. I thought the naan was ok. An excellent lunch and both the salad and curry were awesome! A meal I would love to eat again!

Another rare and interesting menu item today! Ruurohann. An interesting dish of ground meat and stewed vegetables. Today’s daikon soup was quite good and had a fair amount of flavor and delicious texture from the abura age as well. The ruuroohan was amazing and the meat and bamboo shoots were delicious and had a sweetness, but also another flavor I couldn’t catch, but reminded me of fish like squid. Super delicious and extremely easy to eat and great with rice as well. I wanted to keep eating and before I knew it I had finished it all! I really hope that we can get a chance to eat it again soon. Lastly, today’s dessert was milk pudding, which was sweet and tasty. Really a nice and creamy dessert to finish the meal. I am very full and very happy! Thank you!
