Japan’s impressive school lunches
Our eldest child has been attending preschool here for a couple of months now, and one of the standout things I noticed as a parent was just how impressive Japan’s school lunch system is. We get a menu of the lunches served in advance - here’s what’s on for December!
Japan’s school lunches are often touted as a model for other countries to follow, and you can see why! Grilled salmon, pork and tofu, miso soup, pickled veggies - all full of healthy goodness! I am interested to know how the natto component works with the kids though...gotta start them on it young, I’m guessing!

@edthethe yes! it’s awesome actually, because we live nearby to an international university (where my husband is studying) there are a lot of foreigners from all over where the parents don’t speak Japanese. It’s super helpful! Please post yours too! I love glimpses into life here in Japan!
