First lunch of May!  The momizuke salad was nice and crunchy with a great ginger flavor.  Super fresh and refreshing as well.  Today’s soup is a chicken and bamboo boil which was packed with flavor and a ton of interesting ingredients as well.  I liked the daikon and the bamboo in particular since the contrast of the juicy and crunchy bites was enjoyable.  The soup itself was quite sweet and earthy and the chicken added a lot of depth to it.  The Saba in miso sauce was also super good and great with rice.  I actually like the bones in the fish, which have a cool ‘soft crunch’-like texture and don’t take away from the experience.  The sauce today was pretty good too.  A lovely lunch as a welcome back from GW!

Today’s menu looks super healthy.  So many vegetables and so much green in everything.  It is a beautiful visually appealing kyuushoku today.  The green salad with creamy white dressing and pops of yellow from the corn is sweet and delicious. The Spanish-style omelet looks like a quiche without a crust to me, but I guess that is what an omelet is isn’t it?  It is lovely and yellow with nice brown colors from being baked, and also has greens and whites from the ingredients inside.  The potatoes gave it a nice texture and I think there may have even been cheese in it too.  It is quite delicious with a very light savory flavor.  Today’s soup is also kind of a main dish as well with the minestrone soup.  Sometimes the flavor of the minestrone soup can be a little too light, but today was quite strong.  The taste of the nice tomatoes and some spices along with all the delicious ingredients inside it as well.  Today I liked the smokey ham chunks and the yummy pasta shells.  The real star of the show today is of course, Marshall Beans.  The soy chocolate cream is so delicious.  The key with this is using some of the bread with the soup or to clean the salad dressing so the beans to bread ratio is nicer and you can get a really good chocolately bite.  Superb lunch today!  Both delicious with a nice variety of flavors and textures and visually beautiful too!  Perfect sendoff into golden week.

Today many parents came to see the lessons of the students.  Today’s salad has a lot of tuna fish and many crunchy vegetables.  It tastes very healthy and the tuna makes it surprisingly meaty!  The pasta today was as good as always.  It has a sweeter sauce with some meat in it as well.  Hidden among the noodles and sauce are carrots and the occasional green pea.  Quite yummy as always.  Of course I use some of my bread roll to clean up the pasta sauce when I am done eating, but I save some for the strawberry jam too.  It was yummy sweet and delicious and the buttery flavor from the bread makes a nice addition.

A very interesting lunch today!  The ham and nira salad was a great starter for the meal and has a slightly tangy flavor with some sesame.  A little crunchy and the strips of ham add some good flavor as well.  The harusame soup was also nice.  The flavor was light, but the texture was very good.  I like the thin noodles very much.  The baoshu dumplings were super good and had a ton of flavor.  They were quite good with rice and soup as well.  The jelly dessert was very good too.  It was sweet and a little bitter as well.  I don’t know what iyokan is, but I am guessing it is in the yuzu family since this reminds me of yuzu.  A tasty Chinese-style lunch today.

Today is a new menu I think!  Kakiagetendon.  I love kakiage very much and even make it myself so I am interest how good today’s is.  The daikon and cucumber salad was simple and quite nice with some light ginger flavor.  Recently, this fish soup has become quite popular and I am super happy about it because it is so delicious!  Today is no differet and the yummy soup is very flavorful and the fish balls are also great with a salmon flavor that is super good. I think it is a mix of salmon and tuna, but I don’t know. The tendon is already doing great because it comes with that super delicious tendon sauce.  The kakiage was still a little crunchy and filled with many interesting ingredients!  I found potatos(?), beans, carrots, onion, and I think that is it.  I was impressed with it and it was quite good.  The real question to me is, is it better than ikatendon since I think this menu replaced that for today. For me the answer is yes.  I don’t like squid very much, but it is meatier than the kakiage, but we also got fish ball soup today so that was plenty meaty. Interesting new choice and a wonderful school lunch.  Looking forward to seeing more new menu items!

Yakisoba and bread day!  Double the carbs! Double the deliciousness!  The daikon and tuna salad was wonderful and the crunchy daikon and cucumber have a nice sweet and tart dressing which contrasts nicely with the salty tuna.  I love this salad and could eat a lot!  The yakisoba was yummy as ever.  It is quite filling and I like to use some of the bread for cleaning the plate when I finish it.  Lastly I eat my yogurt and bread at the same time.  They are such a perfect combo!  Great lunch today.

Oh no!  Natto day and the sticky item menu.  This is a big challenge for me, but it is kyushoku and kyushoku is always good!  The salad was very crunchy and had a really bright citrus flavor.  I like the abruaage slices since they are almost like croutons.  It was delicious and almost sweet after eating the natto.  Although the karashi made my natto quite good today.  Maybe I am starting to like it? Today’s soup, the chikuzennni was quite good and I love the taste of the broth and my favorite ingredients are the daikon and the takenoko.  A lovely Japanese lunch filled with many interesting and unique ingredients!

A very Japanese lunch today.  The kiriboshi daikon was delicious and had a nice salty flavor with an earthy sweetness.   It went perfectly with the rice!  The tonjiru was quite tasty today and filled with big chunks of tofu and lots of delicious crunchy cabbage.  The broth had a nice deep flavor which had some smoky flavor like katsuoboshi or something.  It tasted very good today!  A wonderful match with rice.  Today’s saba with miso sauce was excellent and very meaty.  The sweet and slightly savory miso sauce and the light fishy flavor were a great combination and of course were great with rice!  Of course, today is a special ‘Rice Menu’ day! Complete success and a yummy meal.

Today is curry day!  The ham and daikon salad was excellent and the ham chunks were very big and there was even asparagus in the salad which was nice.  One of the best kyushoku salads thanks to being simple and super flavorful with nice ingredients.  The pork curry was very delicious and had a nice amount of spice too.  Lots of veggies, but I got mostly potatoes today. I like carrots in curry the most.  A simple meal of curry and salad with rice on the side, but one of the most hearty and satisfying meals you can get at school!  Delicious!

Today’s lunch is Mabodofu with a dumpling and salad, a classic kyushoku menu.  Today’s salad, namul, was a bit saltier than I was expecting since normally it has a more sweet sesame flavor.  The saltiness was nice and went well with the rice and it had a nice juicy crunch as well.  Today’s shrimp dumplings, the ebishumai, were good and had a lot of shrimp flavor.  The mabo was pretty good today, nice and hot.  I like that it is so meaty and the tofu is quite nice as well.  I am always surprised that there is no spoon on mabo dofu day.  My image of eating mabo dofu is that it is always eaten with a spoon.
