Meatballs, bread, and kitsune udon!  An interesting combination and a delicious one!  Ah, the ham and daikon salad is so delicious.  Seriously such a perfect match of textures, flavors, and so simple too.  The kitsune udon as well was very good.  I think the soup broth has a lot of flavor in it as well which is great.  The kitsune tofu was good, but I like it a little sweeter.  Maybe it is because I like the cup noodle kitsune so much?  It was still very juicy and delicious.  Looking at today’s menu, it would look like the udon is the main dish, but to me, it is the meatballs and bread.  Another ‘ura-menu’ technique I love is making a simple little meatball sandwich.  The meatballs were sweet and tasty and went perfect with the slice of bread as well.  It was a sweeter meatball sandwich but super good and satisfying for me.  Wonderful lunch to finish the first week of school back from break.

Curry rice and Seaweed salad!  A school lunch classic for our second school lunch after the break.  Today’s dressing tasted like it had a little bit more punch than usual which was nice and the corn is great as always balancing out the flavors and textures with some sweetness and a crunchy bite.  The curry today was truly amazing.  The summer vegetables really take it to a new place flavor and texture wise with pumpkins adding sweetness and a creamy texture and eggplants with a juicy bite too.  I was super satisfied and happy to get this meal today. Thank you!

Wow!  School lunch!  It has been over a month!  And today’s school lunch is a great one. Yummy broccoli and cucumber salad with corn is so refreshing and tasty.  I like to use some of my rice bread to clean up the dressing on the plate.  It was very well baked and has a great chewy texture with a nice outer crust.  The tomato soup was simple and nice with some onions, egg, and a little meat as well making it more robust.  Delicious, and of course I clean the bowl with a piece of the yummy rice bread.  Finally, I save a big hunk of the bread to make into a bun for my baked chicken and cheese.  This little sandwich is seriously one of my favorite ‘ura-menu’ items.  Please try it!

ガリガリくん

Last kyushoku of the semester.  Hot dog and ramen with a nice treat in the form of a garigarikun ice cup.  The hot dog was great and I think it is fun to prepare it and make it the way I like it.  The flavor of the sausage on the dog is great.  Today’s miso ramen was wonderful as well. The texture of the noodle was great and flavor of the broth very satisfying and hearty.  I liked the bits of corn in it as well which gave a little sweetness and crunch too.  The garigarikun ice was just like the real thing!  Soda flavored and super sweet and nice.  So nice on a hot day like today.  A wonderful conclusion to school lunch on this final day of school for the students.

Second to last school lunch of the first semester.  Saba in miso sauce and kimchi tonjiru.  The gobo salad was great and tasted wonderful.  A nice sweetness and some savory goodness from the meat bits as well.  The kimchi tonjiru was tasty and had a nice spice level to it giving the tonjiru a little bit of excitement. It was nice to go back and forth between the soup and the fish.  The Saba was great today as always with a nice sweetness from the Miso sauce and hearty with a great texture as well.  A very nice lunch today.

Hayashi Rice!  A wonderful day and I am very hungry!  The salad was nice and had nice almost crunchy abura age which were like croutons.  The hayashi rice was quite good and nice and beefy with great flavors from the mushrooms as well.  Delicious!

NIKU JAGA!  Today’s spinach and sprout salad was pretty good and had a kind of unique taste that I can’t really describe.  There was sesame, but also something else.  The salad is called ‘Isokaori ae’ so whatever iso is, is probably it! Good stuff.  The tofu was super good.  So soft and creamy that I could barely pick it up with my chopsticks and pretty much just drank it after a while.  The soy sauce was a nice pairing of course and the tofu itself was very high quality I think.  The nikujaga today was excellent and delicious as always.  Today’s was advertised as being slightly spicy, but my old tongue couldn’t tell.  It was very delicious and had a lot of flavor, but as far as spice was concerned it was very gentle.  The gobo in particular was very interesting and added a kind of new element to the dish, while the potatoes and noodles were such a perfect pair soaking up that yummy juice making for a hearty and pleasant main dish.  I love nikujaga.

五目ひじき　いなむどぅち（沖縄風とん汁）

Today is a Japanese lunch menu with sanma, hijiki, and soup.  The hijiki was great.  It was packed with lots of protein from the meat and beans too.  Today’s soup, the Inamuducchi was interesting.  It reminded me a little bit of the Dosanko soup and although it looks like a miso soup, I think the base is different.  Maybe it is from the amount of satsumaage in it giving the soup a more complex flavor.  It was good.  The sanma today was excellent and a great dish with the rice.  The sweet and savory daikon oroshi sauce was delicious and gave the sanma a more interesting flavor and matched it with rice even more perfectly.  A great menu today!

Today is the delicious sanshokudon with soup.  The juicy sesame greens and the yummy egg and chicken mix are a perfect match and go very well with the rice of course.  The miso soup was excellent today and the onions and potatoes were particularly delicious adding great flavor as well as hearty and enjoyable texture.  One of my favorite lunches so there isn’t much to say!
