ごはん　牛乳　かつおのゆずみぞれ煮

五目ひじき　むらくも汁

Today is a Japanese style lunch with fish, hijiki, and soup.  The hijiki was nice and I like the beans in it.  Today’s soup is called ‘murakumo’ soup.  So in English it would be called cloudy soup!  It is hot and delicious and the eggs are great.  Today’s main dish is the Katsuo with a yuzu miso sauce.  It is absolutely delicious and the flavor is so strong.  The miso base is good, but the yuzu has such a powerful and fresh flavor it is amazing.  And the fish itself was very meaty and hearty.  An excellent lunch today and one of the best so far!

フィッシュバーガー　牛乳　コーンシチュー

Today is an interesting menu. Corn stew and 'fish burgers'. The fishburger is a hot dog bun, some cabbage, and tar tar sauce which is topped with a nicely fried very crispy fish katsu. It was very delicious and the tar tar sauce matches well with the fish. The cabbage also adds a nice texture and moistness to the sandwich. The fish and the buns aren’t the same size, so I saved a little of the bread to enjoy with my stew. The corn stew was superb. Great flavor and creamy and hot. Pops of sweetness from the corn and nice textures from the rest of the vegetables as well. A truly delicious meal! The first week of school lunch starts out strong!

三色丼　牛乳　けんちん汁

The first kyushoku of the new school year! Sanshokudon! To represent the variety of challenges and experiences we will all share this year maybe? The kenchin soup was delicious and hot. A nice way to warm up before I dug into my three colored rice. The greens in the sanshokudon were delicious, sweet, and had a nice sesame flavor. The soboru and egg mix was also quite yummy and had a nice salty flavor which balanced very well with the greens. A great lunch to start off the new school year! Best school lunch of the year so far!

紅茶パン　牛乳　キャベツのマリネ

ビーフシチュー　アイス

～Lunch Report By ALT～

Final kyushoku of the month!  Recently the final kyushoku of the month is always exciting and has something special.  Today there is ice cream and interestingly, kouchapan, or black tea bread.  The cabbage marine is a simple salad of cabbage, cucumber, and ham, but has a very delicious dressing and is quite complex with flavors and textures.  A real surprise of a salad that I always enjoy eating.  Today’s beef stew was delicious and loaded with beef.  It reminds me of the hayashi rice, but I think there is a bit more beefy flavor in this stew.  It is very good.  The bread is also very delicious and has a light coating of sugar on it as well which makes it almost a dessert.  I saved some to eat with the ice cream.  And today we got haagen-dazs vanilla ice cream which is quite the treat!  Today is a special lunch for the 6th year students since this is their last year eating lunch in elementary school.  I wish them well. Today’s lunch was amazing!

三色丼（そぼろ・ごま和え）　牛乳　鮭団子汁

Today we have sanshokudon and fishball soup.  A great menu!  The soup was amazing and the fishy salmon balls add a lot of great flavor to the soup and mix perfectly with it.  This is one of my favorite soups in kyushoku.  The sanshokudon is like a Japanese bibinba.  It is very good and the greens have a delicious sesame flavor and the egg chicken mix is sweet and savory at the same time.  It is so delicious.  This is one of my favorite meals and a top 15 for sure.  Gochisousamadeshita!

Today is yakisoba day.  The konyaku salad is slimy and juicy and has a nice flavor.  Sadly I have very severe hay fever so I can’t really enjoy the flavor of the foods as much as I want to!  The yakisoba has a strong flavor so I can taste it and it was delicious.  Also, there is a lot of meat in it today which was quite nice.  Lastly I ate some of my bread with the salad and milk, but I saved it to eat alongside the yogurt.  I think that the flavor of the yogurt and bread are a really nice match so they go well together.  A nice lunch today.

ごはん　牛乳　白身魚フライ

五目ひじき　とん汁

Today’s lunch is Japanese style.  Fried fish and hijiki salad.  The salad was good and I always enjoy the meaty bits with the hijiki.  It is quite sweet as well.  The tonjiru was nice and hot today and filled with lots of vegetables.  It was just regular tonjiru and it was nice to eat it after getting many special varieties recently.  Today’s fried whitefish was excellent.  The perfect amount of crunch and still juicy and warm on the inside as well.  The sauce adds a little extra flavor giving it some zing and its delicious on rice.  A lovely Japanese lunch today!

ホットドッグ　牛乳　チャンポンメン

とちおとめゼリー

～Lunch Report By ALT～

Today is a nice little hotdog with a side of noodles and jelly for dessert.  The chanponmen was very delicious and hot.  I liked the variety of veggies and proteins in it as well.  The hot dog is great as well and I always enjoy it.  It has a nice smokey flavor which is a flavor we don’t see often in kyushoku.  And the cabbage also helps to make up for the buns to dog ratio as well which is nice.  The strawberry jelly was amazing and filed with flavor.  I usually eat it in slices, but today I mixed it up and it was very good too.  A wonderful sweet ending to a delicious meal.

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!

米粉パン　牛乳　ササミチーズフライ

ブロッコリーサラダ　ワンタンスープ

～Lunch Report By ALT～

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.
