Back at it again and the first lunch of the week is fish, salad, and soup. The salad is spinach-based with some other veggies tossed in and flavored mostly with delicious smokey bonito. It’s a kyushoku classic and a nice start to the meal. Today’s fish, hokke, is not my favorite. It has a kind of creamy oily texture and the flavor is slightly bitter to me although the nutritionist often tells me that students think it tastes sweet. I ate it quickly with my rice and moved on to the soup which is today’s MVP. It was buttery and filled with delicious vegetables and meat as well. It was flavored quite well and was very enjoyable. Today’s apple jelly was amazing and filled with apple chunks. It had more of a natural texture than jelly making it similar to apple sauce which I love. A fine meal today. Thank you!

Wonderful pasta today.  I have smelled the cooking onions all morning leading up to lunchtime while walking in the halls between classes and it was great.  The daikon, ham, and cucumber salad was excellent.  Great dressing and perfect balance of ingredients as well.  The pasta was not a let down at all and tasted wonderful. The sauce had a light sweetness, but was still salty and savory enough for me.  The little hot dogs were lovely as always.  I use some of the bread for the pasta sauce, but like to save most of it to enjoy with the yogurt and the milk. As a nice little final dessert.

Chinese menu today with happosai, spring noodle salad, and manju.  The spring noodle salad is quite delicious and tangy with sesame seeds as well.  Strips of ham give some nice flavor as well as the cucumbers, cabbage, and carrots which offer a nice crunch.  Today’s main dish is the happosai, or 8 Treasures Vegetables.  It’s a very interesting naming for a dish, but it has a ton of interesting ingredients which I think are the treasures.  Today’s was tasty and a treasure to enjoy for sure.  Today’s super treasure was the nira manju though.  The strong flavor from the nira and the meat inside the dumpling make for a very delicious treat that was enjoyable.

A wonderful day for school lunch again.  Creamy macaroni stew and fried fish sandwiches.  Perhaps another reward for the teachers participating in today’s observation lesson?  The fried fish was delicious, crunchy, and had a nice flavor.  The sauce added some tangy flavors to the fishy and meaty goodness.  With the moisture from the boiled cabbage, it’s a nice collection of textures that makes for a yummy dish.  The cream stew was delicious as always.  So hearty and the pasta is quite yummy filled with sauce.  In particular the mushrooms were a nice addition to this adding an interesting texture that was enjoyable.  I feel like the flavor of the cabbage kind of won out over the others and I was hoping for a stronger onion flavor.  It was still an absolute delight and I am very thankful for such a powerful meal before an important lesson this afternoon!  Thank you!

Today the parents came to watch lessons!  With many many people, we also have a meal with many many ingredients.  Sanshokudon!  The kenchin soup was quite good.  I liked how hot and hearty it was, filled with lots of veggies and tofu.  The sanshokudon proper was delicious as always.  The savory egg and chicken with the tasty sweet and sesame spinach as well is a delicious meal great with rice.  Thank you!
