The first full week back to school after the winter vacation and today’s lunch is komatsuna salad with tamagoyaki and chikuzenni, a dish of boiled veggies and konyaku.  Very Japanese, but very yummy.  The salad is a crunchy and mushy mixture with very strong bonito flavor.  The smokiness of the bonito and nice touch from the sesame seeds is a refreshing start to the meal.  The egg is sweet almost sweet enough to be considered a dessert, and is a nice contrast to the salty and savory flavors from the salad and the stew.  The chikuzenni is a hearty collection of root vegetables stewed in a nice sauce, which has some sweetness to it, but takes up those earthy flavors, which help to chew through the vegetables.  The bamboo shoots and daikon radish are my favorite.  This is a dish that I always forget that I like because without flashes of color from the carrots or green beans it’s mostly brown and beige.  But despite that, each time I take my first bite I remember how delicious it is.  It is a lovely meal and a solid start to what will be a great week of kyushoku.

Minestrone, flower veggie salad, and baked chicken!  Excellent end to the week today.  The salad was juicy, delicious, and had such wonderful flavors.  An absolute treat and one of the best kyushoku salads.  The soup was great today as well.  Nice tomato flavor, but also plenty of seasoning as well giving it a bit more kick than usual.  I think I even tasted a little garlic which is fantastic.  The baked chicken was amazing and cooked perfectly.  I made a sandwich with the sweet honey bread and it was a nice enough match.  Hearty and filling alongside the soup.  Wonderful meal!

Natto and Nikujaga!  A day of great highs and great lows for me.  The natto wasn’t too bad today, but I think that the salad on natto day is different than usual.  I recall that eating the salad cleaned out my mouth quickly, but today’s salad was more spinach based and didn’t have a strong dressing.  It did have a bit of bonito flavor though which was nice.  Today’s nikujaga was delicious as always.  I feel like I got a lot of potatoes today.  The stew broth that it comes in is sweet and delicious and the flavor of the onions really makes it so good.  Nice meal today!

Stew, Salad, and Agepan!  The daikon and ham salad was crunchy and delicious.  The stew was amazing!  Great creamy flavor and lots of nice vegetables as well.  The potatoes were great.  The Kinako agepan was delicious and tasted a little bit like peanut butter.  It was a nice dessert after the meal and great with milk.  If I didn’t have milk I might have been in trouble!  Delicious and hearty stew today!  Thank you!

Happy New Year! It’s the year of the tiger and today is the first day at school with school lunch and the start of the 3rd semester. Hayashi rice and seaweed salad with a mikan jelly dessert. Can’t ask for a more solid start than that! The salad was slippery and crunchy, with a nice tangy and slightly sweet flavor from the dressing and natural seaweed flavor. The hayashi rice was very tasty! The tomato flavor was nice and the vegetables were hot and delicious. In particular the mushrooms and green peas were delicious and added nice texture. The mikan jelly was a nice little treat afterwards and refreshed my mouth quite nicely. Lovely meal and now I am full and ready for the rest of the day, no, the rest of the semester! Thank you and let’s have a great 2022!

Christmas eve and the day of the closing ceremony for the second semester.  A SUPER Christmas themed lunch today.  Hamburg shaped like Christmas Trees, star cheese in the salad and star noodles in the soup as well as cute snowman Naruto too. The salad is one of the most delicious ones and the little cheese stars add such a great level of depth to it.  The colorful greens whites and reds also give it a real nice holiday vibe.  The soup is delicious and so cute.  I used the bread roll and made it into buns so I could eat a hamburg tree sandwich..  It was delicious.  There was also a super tasty dessert.  It was a delicious and creamy and sweet strawberry jelly and pudding with some whipped cream on top.  A super duper festive and delicious lunch to kick off the winter vacation for the students!

Today is an all Japanese lunch.  The momiduke was nice and crunchy with a light sesame flavor.  The zakuzakuni was quite delicious and everything was cut into small chunks or cubes.  I like when my food comes in cubes.  This soup reminded me of oden.  The fish, iwashi, was amazing.  This is one of my favorite fish that comes in school lunch and I love the sesame and miso sauce that comes with it.  So wonderful.
