Today marks my final day at my Junior High School and thus my final day eating school lunch. It’s been quite a fun three years here in Japan. School lunches have opened me up to a lot of foods I would have never thought to experience (whole smelt). 

Today was egg and chicken in a soupy bowl. Katsuo rice. Finally a salad of pickled cucumber and bean sprouts. Also a frozen mikan for dessert.

I’ll miss Japanese school lunches so much!

It was an okay lunch today. The fish had bones. The macaroni salad had tomatoes. The hijiki had little fishes in it. There is a mikan and white rice. It was okay. Not the best, not the worst.

We’re back! It’s 2020 now! Back to the nice school lunches that I missed.

Today we had white rice, saba (mackerel) and a cabbage side salad. In the bowl is a bunch of stewed vegetables and fish cakes. Dessert was a mikan.

Today was a GOOD LUNCH. White rice was standard. A mikan was also normal. The side salad was a little mushy, not sure what vegetables they used. However, the egg drop soup was delicious. The meat of the day was deep fried katsuo so it was delicious. Katsuo is skip-jack tuna, the most environmentally friendly tuna to consume. It’s delicious.
