Just by looking at today’s lunch you know it will be delicious.  The bean salad is so colorful, the stew looks creamy and filled with delicious ingredients and the meatballs are shining with yummy sauce.  The salad was excellent and had a variety of crunchy, juicy, and soft mushy textures which were enjoyable.  Also the salad had a great balance of flavors from the vegetables with sweetness too.  Oh and today is the day!  The stew was perfect.  It was hot and creamy and sometimes there is too much milk which can thin the flavor, but it was really amazing and thick today.  And a true treat, even though we have a super good stew, were the pair of yummy meatballs.  I put them into my bread and made a mini meatball sub.  The sweetness of the bread and the meatballs mixed perfectly making for a nice final flavor in my mouth.  Today was truly one of the best lunches yet this year!  Perfect on all fronts.  Gochisousamadeshita!

Today is fried chicken and “komatsuna day”.  Today’s salad, the komatsuna sesame salad, was excellent.  I love the flavor of the dressing and the texture is also perfect.  I like the sweetness of the sesame dressing a lot.  The nameko mushroom soup was very tasty and had a nice earthy and salty flavor.  I usually don’t like the sliminess of nameko, but it was toned back today which was nice.  Today’s main event was the Korean-style fried chicken and it was a masterpiece.  Often the specially flavored fried chicken is always good, but today was seriously almost perfect.  The only way it could have been better is if I had gotten mine moments after it came out of the fryer!  The light spiciness and a nice sweetness mixed with a quality garlic and onion base is so yummy.  The sauce on the outside took away some of the crispiness, but it still retained most of its crunchy texture and was excellent.  A truly delicious kyuushoku today. Gochisousamadeshita!

Yaki soba and... MARSHALL BEANS!!!  Yes!  What a great menu today.  The daikon, ham, and cucumber salad is great. It is super crunchy and has a really nice almost creamy dressing which adds to the flavors of the ham and veggies.  Today’s yakisoba is wonderful and had a lot of flavor from the sauce.  Also there was a lot of meat and octopus chunks in mine today making it even more hearty than usual.  Finally the marshall beans and bread were lovely as always.  I adore this chocolately nutty spread and it pairs perfectly with bread and milk as well.  Great lunch today.

Dosanko Soup day!  Today’s salad is kinpira gobo.  I love gobo for its lightly crunchy texture and sweet earthy flavor.  The dosanko is kind of a savory soup with many ingredients famous in Hokkaido.  It is super good and one of my favorite soups.  The fish today was also very well done and the flavor of the miso was delicious.  Perfect with rice and a very light flavor as well.  Nice lunch today.

Curry day!  I am excited for today’s jelly honestly.  The seaweed salad was slimy, but good and had a nice fresh flavor as usual.  The sweet corn and crunchy cucumbers save the texture for me personally.  The curry today was very good and the potatoes were cut quite large making for a nice big hot bite.  Also, today the curry was on the spicier side which was appreciated.  On a hot and humid day like today the curry is delicious, but I started to sweat a little!  Today’s jelly, though, was a perfect finish after the curry.  The honey and lemon are a match made in heaven and absolutely great as a cool jelly.  I wish mine was still more frozen, but it is a hot day and there is nothing you can do about it.  I got one or two really nice frozen bites which were perfect.  Nice lunch to kick off the week!

Spaghetti day!  I love school spaghetti, it is sweet with just enough savory flavors to have a nice balance.  Today’s salad is a good one too.  It is like the flowering veggie salad, but instead of cauliflower we get corn instead.  It is sweet from the corn and the vegetables soak up the dressing very well too and have a nice juicy crunch.  Today’s pasta was quite good and in particular I liked the large cut of the onions and the green peppers.  You can really enjoy the flavor of the veggies together with the sauce.  The bread and yogurt I ate at the same time so make a kind of strawberry yogurt bread.  The bread had a really nice strawberry flavor and the sweet creaminess of the yogurt paired with it well making for a nice refreshing dessert after the pasta and salad.  Wonderful lunch!

Today’s menu is hoikoro and tofu wakame soup. Hoikoro is one of my favorite items of all time for school lunch.  The soup is actually quite good and the flavor is different.  We have eaten a lot of miso soup recently so it’s a nice change of pace to get a new type of soup.  The wakame and tofu are a nice pair as well.  The hoikoro was on point and absolutely great as always.  Super flavorful and went down with rice perfectly.  I was hungry today and ate it rather quickly!  I like to save one or two bites of rice to clean my plate since the sauce with the hoikoro is really good. Finally there was a nice orange slice which was a nice tangy dessert to conclude the meal.  I ate mine in one bite!

Today is the ‘rice menu’ day with lots of foods that go great with rice.  The hijiki is quite good and I particularly enjoyed the little bits of meat in it today.  I got lucky and there were a few really big ones in there so it was great.  Today’s miso soup was also quite special and filled with many nice ingredients like potatoes, abura age, and daikon.  It was quite good and the vegetables gave it a lot of nice flavor.  Now today’s main dish, the fried Aji was excellent.  I don’t think we have gotten the aji tatsuta before and it is super good!  Great flavor from both the good fry up and also the flavor of the tatsuta as well.  Super juicy and perfect with rice because of how salty it is.  I wish I had saved more rice than I did to enjoy with the aji age.  A quite pleasant lunch, which didn’t look so good on paper (to me) but ended up being really delicious.  Thank you!

Today is the Mabo/Shumai combo menu.  It is always a good lunch.  The ham and nira salad was great.  Loads of bean sprouts, sesame seeds, and tons of flavor as well.  The mabo was fine, hot, and loaded with meat which was hearty and filling.  The shumai were little explosions of flavor that really went well with the tofu.  A yummy lunch today!  Warms you up on the rainy and cool day we are having.
