～Lunch Report By ALT～

Today is an awesome lunch menu! Spaghetti and Italian salad with a bread roll and some mikan jam. The Italian salad is perhaps the best salad of all kyushoku salads. Maybe the cube salad is a bit better but only because it has cheese in it. It is crunchy, refreshing, and juicy with an awesome dressing and rare ingredients like red bell pepper and shrimp. The spaghetti is good as always and the meat sauce is quite tasty. The flavor is there, kind of sweet, but just savory enough to not me overpowering and there are shreds of carrot and some peas in there as well. It’s wonderful and plentiful! Lastly the mikan jam was delicious and sweet with a really nice citrus flavor. I use some of my breadroll to dip in the sauce and some for the dessert. It was an amazing lunch and a perfect sendoff for the week.

Curry and rice.  After a holiday and then coming back to work, curry and rice is a great welcome back.  Its chilly today, despite being sunny, and the warm and hearty curry is perfect.  The salad was good as always, I particularly like the tangy dressing.  The curry was hot and a little spicy and perfect.  The Tochiotome yogurt was amazing and the chunks of strawberry were sweet and delicious inside of the creamy dessert.  Wonderful lunch today and much needed!  Thank you!

Today is 2.22.22!  Wow!  Today we commemorate that wonderful date with natto and oden. Today’s natto was fine.  I like the mustard the best.  Today’s salad was another mushy one.  I usually rely on the crunchy fresh salad to counteract the natto’s sliminess, but no luck today.  It was mostly seaweed and pretty good either way.  The oden was pretty good today and quite enjoyable.  My favorite oden is the knot of noodles, the egg, the hot dog in tofu, the tofu bag with mochi in it, and the daikon radish.  Today we got a daikon so I was happy about that.  A fine lunch today!

Today is hoikoro, manju, and tofu soup.  The hoikoro is amazing and thankfully warm on this freezing day.  It has a lot of great flavor and is wonderful with rice and there was plenty of great veggies in it as well.  The nira manju was quite delicious, but today is freezing cold and very windy to the manju were cold too.  It is a real shame because if it was hot it would be much much better.  Still delicious.  The tofu soup had a lighter flavor than the other two menu items, but was still flavorful and nice.  Lastly we got a nice frozen jelly dessert which was super nice and juicy.  It was mikan flavored and a nice refreshing finish to the meal.  Great lunch today!  I am still so cold though.

Today we have an interest menu with udon, meatballs, and honey bread. Today’s salad is the jako salad which is crunchy and has some sweetness from the cabbage and some good flavor from the dressing and some overall fishy flavor from the jakko. The meatballs were excellent with the bread and I made a little sandwich. The sweetness of the meatball sauce went great with the honey in the bread and it was delicious. The udon was pretty good too and nice and hot. I like the tofu bits in it since its super juicy and has a nice sweetness to it as well. Overall today was a great menu and was a super nice conclusion to the week. Excellent week for kyushoku.

Today is another great looking lunch! Karaage with Nira and won ton soup. The daikon and cucumber salad was pretty good and had a nice fresh taste and an enjoyable crunch. The karaage was tremendous. This is a new flavor and we usually get the lemon or Korean variation, but the nira is an excellent pairing. Fried perfectly with a nice crunch and delicious juicy chicken, the nira and sauce that it was cooked in brings a really like onion, garlic flavor which tastes more like karaage you get at a restaurant. It is really good and great with rice. Even the wonton soup today feels powered up. It has a nice flavorful broth and lots of delicious wontons and veggies inside which give it a lot more punch and texture. Such a great lunch today, I love these karaage and the wonton and rice are wonderful alongside them.

Variety lunch today with a fantastic pumpkin stew.  The broccoli salad with corn and cucumber has a very sweet and creamy dressing.  Maybe a little too sweet since the corn itself is actually fairly sweet, but it was delicious and I got a lot of broccoli which was nice.  The omelet was packed with flavor and quite tasty.  The tomato and meat in it were quite nice.  Today’s pumpkin stew was delicious and packed with vegetables and also very very yellow!  The stew did not fail expectations and was very good as always.  Lastly, the chocolaty cherry on top is the choco pate.  I always think it is going to be mil-make, but its just straight chocolate sauce fortified with iron.  Its great and I enjoy it with my bread.  Lovely lunch today.  This week has been full of winners so far!  Looking forward to tomorrow and Friday’s lunch as well.

Bibinba!  Today’s lunch has a yummy salad filled with lots of great juicy spinach and crunchy bean sprouts.  My favorite part of the meal is the delicious meat and veggie mix because it has such a great flavor.  The meat has a nice spiciness to it and plenty of garlic and soy sauce as well which gives it almost a smokey taste.  Also the soup has a nice light flavor and those great spring noodles.  It is one of the best-balanced lunches flavor-wise I think and super tasty.  Not to mention we get a great dessert too!  The fuity anindoufu was excellent with a perfect blend of creamy and sweet flavors and the more citrusy tart flavors from the fruit.  Perfect finish to the meal and a totally yummy lunch.

Happy valentine’s day!  Soup, gobo salad, and fish today.  The gobo salad was crunchy, sweet, and a little chewy from the aburaage.  It’s a nice starter for the meal.  Today’s soup is suiton soup.  It has little dough balls in it which are pretty nice and the broth is savory and buttery with lots of nice vegetables.  It is like a chicken soup almost.  The fish today was also quite good and cooked up in a nice miso sauce.  It was meaty and didn’t have a strong fishy taste and was overall very enjoyable with the rice.  Great lunch today!

Today is a kind of interesting menu.  Shimotsu curry, ham katsu, and sekihan!  Lots of good stuff today.  Kyushoku shimotsu curry is actually pretty tame and is quite good.  I love sekihan and it was super good.  The sesame seed salt is so delicious and it is very filling.  The ham katsu was also super crunchy and perfectly fried.  It tasted wonderful and was great.  We also got a nice seaweed soup with tofu and Naruto in it.  It was good.  Lastly was today’s dessert, the tochioteme jelly.  It was absolutely fantastic and had cream on the bottom too.  Great lunch today!

Today is a great lunch!  Hamburg steak and spinach sautee with veggies soup on the side.  The spinache was excellent and had a touch of butter which really made it extra yummy.  I used some of my bread to make a sandwich with the hamburg and it was amazing.  The gravy with mushrooms was really good.  Todays soup had a light flavor from all the vegetables and was good.  I liked all the cabbage,  Last I used some of my bread to eat a little jam sandwich and it was a quite lovely finish to the meal.  I was quite full and happy today and I needed it!  Thank you!

Today’s lunch is a mix of fish, hijiki, and kimchi soup.  I don’t really like today’s fish very much so I usually try to eat it quickly.  It has a kind of fatty oily taste to me.  Today’s real VIP is the kimchi soup.  Hot and delicious and filled with plenty of vegetables and kimchi flavor.  Nice lunch today!

Back for another week of yummy lunches. This week kicks off with the delicious happosai. Today’s salad was great and had a nice dressing which went well with the ham. It was juicy too. The happosai has a very strong mix of flavors and the squid always stands out to me, but it is filled with many yummy veggies and meats. It’s great with rice too. The shumai were yummy as well and had a nice meaty and oniony flavor. A lovely lunch today and one that filled me up quite nicely.

Friday! Yay!  Today we have a manchi katsu, potof, tuna salad, and a pair of strawberries!  The tuna salad was excellent as always with a nice crunchy bite and a delicious bright dressing mixed with the yummy tuna.  I made a menchi katsu sandwich and it was amazing.  The katsu today was super duper crunchy and the insides were hot, meaty, and had a nice onion flavor.  The potof was tasty and had a nice light flavor which complimented the bread and katsu.  Today’s strawberries were super sweet and delicious.  Some of the best I have had in a while!  And in school lunch too!  Yummy!

Today is Setsubun, or ‘Throwing Beans Day’. A traditional change in the season from the winter months headed into spring where we throw beans and banish demons from our homes and lives!  Today’s salad was packed with flavor from the bonito and it was smokey and juicy.  A kind of odd combination, but delicious.  The daikon stew was pretty good!  The earthy and slightly bitter daikon flavor was calmed down by the flavors and other veggies and was quite delicious.  Today’s real MVP was the fish though.  It was perfectly cooked and super flavorful.  The ginger flavor was excellent and went perfectly with rice.  This is one of the best fish we get in school lunch and it was great today.  Last, as a final snack, the lucky bean assortment.  It is a little snack pack with kakipeas, lucky beans, and crunchy little fish and such with a little bit of a sweet coating.  It was alright.  A nice conclusion to the meal.  Out with the demons and in with the luck!

Yaki soba and ham daikon salad.  Great menu today.  The ham and daikon salad is great as always and has such a delicious mix of crunchy, sweet, sour, and umami flavors.  It’s so good and wakes my mouth up for the yaki soba party that is coming.  The yaki soba today was quite good and had a good amount of flavor from the sauce.  I got a lot of meat in mine today so I feel lucky.  The kokuto bread was sweet and delicious too.  I mostly enjoyed it at the end of the meal with my milk.  A lovely meal that filled me up!

Yeah! Sanshokudon!  And some yummy soup with salmon balls too.  The sanshokudon is absolutely delicious.  The egg/chicken mix is tasty and the greens are tasty and flavorful with a nice juicy sesame flavor.  I just mix it up with the rice and go crazy, I love this.  The soup was simple and delicious with vegetables and those amazing salmon balls.  The salmon gives the soup a different level of depth and the meat is great as well.  After the exciting world school lunch week, it is nice to go back to the classics to remember how good they are.
