Today is a wonderful day!  Macaroni stew!  I seriously love this stuff.  The ‘Popeye’ sautee was amazing.  Very delicious and the flavor of the ham with the spinach was buttery and nice.  I am surprised that Popeye is actually known in Japan since it is such an old cartoon.  Today’s omelet was good as well!  No cheese today, but it was filled with a nice tomato sauce which was perfect with the egg.  Of course I use my bread to clean the plate of the salad and spilled sauce from the omelet.  Today’s macaroni stew was amazing as always.  It has a very gentle flavor which allows the vegetables natural flavor to be easily tasted, especially the onions.  I ate it very quickly!  Finally the tangerine jelly and bread.  I saved half of my bread for the jelly and it was sweet and refreshing.  Enjoyed with milk it is a wonderful combination.  Fantastic lunch today and a top 10 for sure!  Gochisousama Deshita!

Today is a Chinese menu.  The ham and nira salad was crunchy and filled with ham too.  The flavor from the nira and dressing gave it a zingy oniony flavor that was very delicious and refreshing.  I could eat a ton of it!  The wonton soup was very good too.  Nice and hot.  But I got way more Naruto slices than wontons in my bowl which was interesting.  Finally, I saved my favorite for last, the spring roll!  Today’s spring rolls were perfect.  Super crunchy, flavorful, and not too oily either which was very nice.  The taste of the filling and the wrapper is simply delicious and has a nice salty and savory flavor which makes me want to eat more and more.  Wonderful meal today!

Today is a Japanese menu!  The Renkon kinpira is great.  Renkon is called lotus root in English and many people in America don’t eat it, but I think it is great.  The kinpira has a nice earthy and savory flavor with hints of sweetness here and there that make it a delight.  The Murakumo soup was nice.  In English, murakumo are “Gathering Clouds” and I understand the meaning since the eggs look a little like clouds in the soup.  The saba misoni was excellent. Maybe today’s best menu item with its nice flavorful meaty texture and the sweet delicious miso sauce on top.  Saba is mackerel in English.  It’s delicious and cooked perfectly I feel.  Not to mention a bit bigger than usual too which is a surprise.  Another excellent school lunch today!

Today is chicken curry with rice, seagrass salad, and some yogurt.  A classic school lunch menu.  I like the seagrass salad very much and enjoy the sweetness from the corn and cabbage mixed with the slightly sour and tangy dressing.  The chicken curry was excellent and the spice level was quite nice.  It tasted spicier than usual and I enjoyed it quite a bit.  In winter I think that spicy curry is delicious.  Today’s yogurt was Yakult flavored and it has an interesting sweet and sourness which is unique.  Nice lunch today!  Also, I was unable to eat lunch yesterday but am bummed that I missed out on the oroshi hamburg and gobo salad.  I love gobo!

Today is another great menu. Pasta, salad,babaloa, and bread with MARSHALL BEANS!  The Italian salad is wonderful as always, but today I was very happy with how the salad looked.  The variety of red, pink, green, and white is very nice and reminds me of the Italian flag and is very bright and beautiful.  The mushroom spaghetti came with some seaweed flakes as a topping and that gave it a Japanese flare.  There was more than one type of mushroom in the pasta and it had a nice earthy flavor backed up by the onion and carrot slices.  I recommend using some of the bread to clean the salad bowl and pasta bowl and then eat it with the marshall beans to improve the beans to bread ratio.  Its great!  And finally the babaloa was great.  I love the mix of the creamy soy pudding and the fruity and tart orange topping.  A great finish.  This is one of my favorite lunch menus.  Top 10 for sure!  Gochisousamadeshita!

Today is a Chinese style menu.  Mabo Dofu, Shrimp Shumai, and namul salad.  The namul is excellent, crunchy, and packed with flavor and lots of vegetables.  I love the sesame flavor mixed with the nice fresh flavors of the vegetables and ham.  Today’s namul feels like it had extra ingredients in it.  The mabo dofu today was very good and I think it was a tiny bit more spicy than usual.  The sauce looked a little more red than last time.  It was excellent as always.  The shumai were full of shrimp flavor and quite good, but mine were cold.  Next time I will put my shumai into my mabo dofu to warm them up!  Today’s best menu items for me was the mabo dofu and the namul.  Wonderful meal.

Today is a great menu.  Special Cocoa Agepan, Corn Stew, and Ham and Daikon Salad.  The tangy and bright flavors of the crunchy daikon and cucumber contrast the savory meat in the salad perfectly and make it extremely delicious to enjoy.  The corn stew was hot, delicious, and extremely hearty.  Filled to the brim with vegetables and some meat as well, it was absolutely wonderful.  Again, kyuushoku stew cannot be beaten.  I liked the sweetness of the corn strew soaking into the soft potatoes and eating them with the slightly savory and juicy onions for a great combo of flavor and texture. Today’s agepan seemed like it had a lot more sugary coating on it than usual so it was very very sweet.  Normally it has a kinako sugar coating on it but today is cocoa and it was good.  The chocolately flavor was interesting and went very well with milk.  Excellent lunch today and easily the best lunch of the 3rd semester. Gochisousamadeshita!

Today’s hakusai salad was quite good and I enjoyed the katsuo boshi flavor the most.  The ‘Dosannko’ soup was really delicious and had a very rich flavor and was filled with vegetables.  I like the buttery flavor of the broth and the soft texture of the potatoes in particular.  Today’s fish was good, but not my favorite.  I would like to try it hot.  The tangerine jelly was quite good and still quite frozen because it is so cold! Today’s best menu items to me were the soup and the salad and of course the tangerine jelly.

Happy New Year!  This is the first school lunch of the new year and the 3rd semester at Imasan.  Today’sa kitsune udon was delicious and had a perfect balance of sweetness and savory from the noodles and the abura age.  The crunchy cube salad was amazing.  I love that salad.  The dressing tasted special today, almost a little smokey.  Maybe I am imagining things.  I want to add a new ‘corner’ to these food reports to keep them interesting. ALT Kyushoku Urawaza: Use half the bread to make a sandwich with the baked chicken!  Use the other half in quarters to soak up the soup and dressing from the salad.  The chicken sandwich was my favorite part of today’s meal!  Thank you and please have a wonderful new year in 2021!
