Today’s menu was:
・Grilled Shishamo (Smelt)
・Japanese-style Curry Soup
・Stir-fried Chicken Tender and Komatsuna
・Matcha-flavored Soybeans
・Steamed Rice
・Milk
It’s Day 2 of the exams, and after working their brains at full throttle, everyone came to lunch with healthy appetites.
In Class 2-4, one student asked, “Curry with shishamo—does that really go together?”
We explained that today’s dish is Japanese-style curry soup, a chopsticks-friendly soup rather than curry over rice.
There were nods… and a few doubtful looks—but smiles once they tasted it.
Whether as curry rice or as curry soup, the flavor was outstanding.
The Japanese dashi base really shone through, giving a deep, lingering umami.
It’s the kind of broth that would pair beautifully with curry udon as well.
