ハヤシライス　牛乳　じゃこサラダ

～Lunch Report By ALT～

Today is a very simple menu, but it is filled with great flavors!  The Jyako salad is crunchy and has a yummy dressing.  I can’t really taste the jyako very much since they are so small.  I really like the aburaage in this salad.  The other main item in today’s lunch is hayashi rice.  An excellent tomato based meaty stew with lots of vegetables.  It is excellent.  One of the most reliable items on the kyuyshoku menu.  Delicious as ever!

An interesting menu today.  A super creamy and delicious broccoli salad with sweet corn and crunchy cucumbers was first on my list.  It was great.  The wonton soup was quite good as well with a nice flavor.  Savory and filled with umami, it was warm and hot too.  I particularly liked the crunchy and juicy takenoko.  Usually I like to make a sandwich using the bread when we have a big meaty main dish, but komekopan isn’t really good for making sandwiches so I mostly dipped it into the soup.  I love komekopan very much.  It’s chewy and had a really interesting texture to someone like me who has eaten white bread for most of their life!  The baked (or fried?) chicken with cheese was tremendous.  Such delicious flavor from the meat and the cheese protected by the bread topping.  We rarely get a chicken dish like this and it is super good.  Takes this menu into the top 10 or maybe even top 5 kyushoku menu range for this semester.  Gochisousamadeshita!  What a treat.

Today’s menu is very Japanese.  This menu is one that everything in it goes well with rice.  The kinpira was delicious and sweet. I liked the gobo in particular, because it has such a nice flavor and texture.  I learned that ‘suiton’ means flour dumpling.  I was wondering what those noodles were!  They are quite nice and add to the texture of the soup.  Today’s potatoes were especially well cooked.  Finally the Hirasu.  I researched a little bit and found out that it is actually called the Hiramasu and today we ate Shirohiramasu, although the kanji says blue!  It is a confusing fish name!  Today was a fine lunch.

Korean menu day!  Bibinba with a tangerine!  The vegetable mix was delicious and had nice nutty flavor.  The Korean style beef was amazing and filled with flavor.  I took a small taste of each and then mixed them into one big bowl and enjoyed it like it is eaten traditionally.  Today’s hakusai soup was great as well and I especially love the clear noodles.  And a nice cold tangerine after the meal is perfect for cleansing the pallet.  Delicious Monday lunch!

Yesterday was a holiday and Sunday is Valentines day so today’s lunch is a Valentine’s day themed meal.  The daikon and ham salad was crunchy and nice.  The dressing is a little sour, but tastes amazing.  Today’s cream stew was amazing.  It is always good, but today it tastes like there is some extra love in the stew.  I think it is the umami from the meat.  I also made a mini hamburg sandwich with ketchup using the honey bread.  Today’s hamburg is shaped like a heart!  It is very cute. My hamburg sandwich was great and the ketchup was just the right amount.  Today’s very special treat is the chocolate pudding dessert.  It was quite chocolatey and even a little frozen which I like.  It was a true treat and a rare appearance of chocolate on the school lunch menu.  Today’s menu is easily a top 15!  Gochisousama Deshita!

Today is parents day! There are many family members in the school today watching lessons.  Today’s lunch is also very special!  Instead of squid tempura, we got shrimp tempura!  What a big upgrade!  The momitzuke was excellent, fresh, crunchy, and had a great sesame flavor.  Whatever they pickled it with was very fresh and reminded me of ginger! The pork soup with kimchi was excellent.  This soup comes out for lunch sometimes and it’s always delicious.  Today, along with the ebiten and salad it is a perfect match.  The shrimp tempura today was amazing.  It was super crunchy and perfectly fried and not oily at all.  Also, the shrimp inside was very juicy and delicious as well.  What an amazing treat that with the tendon sauce makes it a true gift.  Top 15 menu today!  I love the ebiten and kimchi soup.  Gochisousamadeshita!

Mabo Dofu day!  Tuna salad was excellent and packed with crunchy vegetables and loads of meaty tunafish.  I ate it quickly and then put my dumplings into my mabodofu to warm them up.  The mabo had a nice mild flavor and was packed with tons of meat too.  Always a delicious lunch menu.  The dumplings today were interesting and I don’t know how to describe their flavor!  They were meaty and salty, but unique somehow that is difficult for me to taste.  They were very good though.  A delicious lunch today.

Today is a Japanese style lunch.  The kiriboshi daikon nimono was pretty good and great with rice.  Today’s fish was gindara and it is called Japanese bluefish in English.  It was a little oily, and reminded me of the sea.  The dosanko soup, or Hokkaido soup, was excellent.  My favorite part of the meal today.  Filled with plenty of veggies that Hokkaido is famous for producing and even a little bit of butter in the soup as well I think.  Tomorrow is Mabo dofu day!

Sadly, I was unable to eat yesterday’s lunch!  I am sure it was very good!  Today is spaghetti with salad and bread as well as a pair of strawberries and MARSHALL BEANS!  The tuna salad has a nice bright dressing which paired very well with the tuna.  I always appreciate and love the mixture of the sweetness from the vegetables, namely the cabbage and corn, and the salty umami from the fish.  The pasta had a nice salty tomato flavor and some hidden carrots, peas, and mushrooms among the meat sauce.  When I saw today’s desserts and sides I came up with a plan.  I wanted to make a chocolate strawberry sandwich for dessert using the strawberries and marshall beans spread.  I took a bite of one of the strawberries alone and it was very sweet and juicy.  My sandwich idea was quite delicious, and the chocolate and strawberry were a great match and the juiciness of the berry actually soaked into the bread making it much easier to eat as well.  Today was a very interesting menu despite using elements that we have seen many times!
