Another rainy day today, but we have warm and spicy indoni to enjoy for lunch.  The cabbage salad was great.  The nice and tangy dressing with the umami from the ham and nice crunch from the cabbage makes it a yummy one.  The indoni was excellent.  It isn’t quite the same flavor as curry and the eggs in it give it a nice and unique flavor and texture as well which is a welcome change and a delicious one too.  Indoni is always interesting.  I feel like it has a curry and tomato base and they add extra liquid to make it more like a soup than a rue.  One of the kyushoku mysteries that I just enjoy eating.  It goes quite well with the butter roll as well.  As always the tochiotome jam and butter roll are a delicious final snack to enjoy with my milk.

First day of July.  Bibinba!  The namul salad mix is quite nice and has a subtle sesame flavor and a nice juicy bite.  The meat is delicious and very flavorful and the vegetable/root that is served with it has a kind of hard texture, but is also very good.  The harusame soup is hot and delicious with a light salty flavor.  It is also packed with vegetables and yummy noodles as well.  The clear noodles are my favorite.  And the acerora jelly was a nice sweet finish to the meal as well.  A delicious to July!

MARSHALL BEANS!  Today’s lunch is an all star menu in my book.  The broccoli salad is crunchy and juicy and the dressing with it is creamy and sweet.  The tomato omelet is fluffy and nice with a nice and savory tomato sauce inside of it.  I like to use some of my bread to make a little egg sandwich with it, but of course I save most of it for the Marshall Beans.  Today’s curry udon was amazing.  The spices were nice and it had a bit of kick to it which is great.  Wonderful lunch!

Unfortunately yesterday I couldn’t enjoy the spicy taco rice which breaks my heart.  Today is karaage, though and I am sure it will be great!  The salad was simple and good and the sesame seeds gave the salad a nice little smokey flavor along with the slightly bitter and sour flavor of the dressing.  Today’s soup, sawaniwan, is delicious.  It is a more rare soup to get with lunch and tastes great.  It gets a lot of flavor from the green onions, mushrooms, and meat.  The karaage was amazing.  Crunchy and salty and just oily enough, while the inside was juicy and flavorful bursting with umami.  Usually the karaage has a special flavor which is always enjoyable, but sometimes the classic and simple flavors are the best!  A delicious lunch on this grey and dreary overcast day.

What a menu today.  Fried fish burger and the tremendously good macaroni cream stew.  The first thing I do on ‘burger’ days like this is to make my sandwich.  The bread and fish are not really compatible size-wise so I find the best technique is to cut the fish with my spoon diagonally and then you can spread it nicely along the bun.  After covering it with sauce I am ready.  The sandwich is delicious and although it is a little too much bread for the amount of fish, it is delicious.  The fish’s crust is crunchy and the inside is juicy with a light flavor.  The macaroni cream stew is amazing.  Today the flavor was quite nice and the bits of meat in it were delicious as well.

Today is hayashi rice!  The seaweed salad was ok today.  Mostly slimy and slippery, but the corn and cucumber make it more appealing to me.  Today’s dressing had a very light flavor.  The hayashi rice on the other hand had a lot of great flavor and delicious ingredients that make it a very hearty and enjoyable.  The onions were sweet and delicious and the little pops from the green peas add a nice surprise contrasting the sauce.  The nice citrusy orange slice at the end work great to clean my mouth up and refresh me for the rest of the afternoon.  Quite a nice lunch today.

Chicken Cheese Sandwiches and Minestrone soup!  The Daikon, cucumber, and ham salad is wonderfully balanced with great flavors and textures.  It is creamy and crunchy with a nice sweet vinegarette that is perfect with the hams flavor.  The minestrone today was actually very flavorful.  Sometimes it can be watery, but today it was delicious and the beans and shells in particular were my favorite.  Today’s main event however is the chicken and cheese sandwich on the kokutopan.  It was stupendous.  The sweetness of the bread and the savory flavor of the cheesy chicken make an interesting combo and it is very easy to eat and super yummy.  The chicken was good and fairly juicy too.  One of the best lunches of all time.

Today’s menu is kind of Chinese style.  The salad was very crunchy and had a nice sour dressing which was unique and enjoyable.  There was sesame and a little bit of sweetness too.  The happosai is such an interesting dish with so many varied ingredients.  I often find that the squid or shrimp or some other seafood overpowers the other flavors though.  I do love the quail eggs though and it is a very good soup.  Today’s secret VIP in my heart, though, is the niramanju.  So flavorful and tasty, the manju is very satisfying and delicious.  I like to bury it inside my happosai to warm it up and thanks to the wrapper it still retains its strong flavor without mixing with the soup.  A nice lunch today!

Today is a Japanese style menu with some fish, dosanko soup, and hijiki.  Today’s hijiki was juicy and warm and quite good.  I liked the little meaty bits and the noodles in it as well.  It has a nice sweet and earthy flavor.  I always move my fish on to my rice and there is usually sauce left behind.  I ate the remaining hijiki juice and miso sauce with some rice before enjoying my soup.  The miso sauce is sweet and delicious. The dosanko soup is phenomenal and the flavors are always great.  It is a buttery and savory soup with all the good vegetables that I love.  Hokkaido knows what they are doing!  Today’s fish, iwashi, is a little bitter but the miso and sesame sauce is perfect and pairs with it making the bitter taste less intense.  I love the miso sauce and today’s fish is soft and well cooked too.  Great meal today!  Love that dosanko so much!
