Inside Japan’s MOST Impressive Elementary School Lunch

Inside Japan’s MOST Impressive Elementary School Lunch

Hope it turns out good! What’s going on? Looks like we’re gonna be on YouTube! Say hi everyone! ?! I’ll be in your classroom too! ?! What grade are you guys in? First grade! You’re a YouTuber? Say cheese! Ooops, I watered it too much. Okay, let’s start the morning meeting. Stand up! Bow! Good morning! (Responding to roll call) That’s all for today! Let’s go together. Sorry, excuse me. The chapel? You go every morning? Yeah. Good morning. Today is Tuesday, May 27th. Today’s lunch is rice and tandoori chicken… Boiled cabbage and seaweed, miso soup with tofu and enoki mushrooms, and milk. Alright, let’s get started! We’re checking the temperature of the delivered food. We marinate the meat in yogurt and curry powder. The yogurt helps tenderize the meat and removes any smell. It’s a popular dish with the kids. We wash the vegetables three times. To remove dirt, dust, or any foreign substances. (Each room is in charge of different tasks to make sure the school lunches are safe.) There are national nutritional standards for school lunch. We aim to meet those standards. But students sometimes encounter unfamiliar ingredients or flavors they’re not used to at home. Some even cry. Some say they dislike something and won’t even touch it. But we hope that even these children will learn to enjoy different foods bit by bit and eventually be able to eat them. We hope school lunches help students develop their taste buds and get used to chewing properly. Hope it turns out good! We’ll now begin our art class. Let’s get started! Wow! So cute! Super cute! You’re all going to make one, too! Here you go. Thank you! Go ahead and drink some tea if you want! Oh, okay. Why don’t you all take a sip? We usually have tea in our bottles. I want to make a jellyfish! Look! What’s that? Just a sparkly crown-beetle thing. Her name is Ribbon-chan. It’s a cat! It has a tail, a necklace, a ribbon, a tiara, and ears. It’s huge! I always remember what’s for lunch every day. So everyone asks me, “What’s for lunch today?” They started calling me the lunch robot. This is a lunch apron. Lunch! You can take all this? Here. Look at the sample and serve just a bit less than that. This is a chance for first graders and older students to interact. I’m off to lunch duty! Can I come? I’m in charge of straws. My favorite lunch is… Drum roll…yakiniku (grilled meat)! Did we have yakiniku? Maybe not? I like miso soup best. Because I like soybeans. And there’s tofu, too. Today’s lunch is tandoori chicken. Which country is that from? Italy Nope! These 6th graders say it’s from India. Correct! Take your time and eat, everyone! Let’s pray. Close your eyes. Put your hands together for prayer. Dear God, thank you for lunch again today. We receive this meal with gratitude. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen! (The 6th graders help 1st graders get the right portion size.) We’re in 6th grade. The first graders are just so cute. They’re adorable They make you want to take care of them. The 1st grader I’m paired with— If they leave carrots, I’ll say, “Try your carrots.” “Just a little” or “Just one bite!” and they’ll try them for me. Back when we were in 1st grade we never ate facing each other like this because of COVID. We didn’t get to be looked after by 6th graders. So we didn’t learn how to interact with them. We’re not even sure if the 1st graders like how we interact with them. But I hope we can be a good influence on them. We kinda feel like parents. Why are you waving your hands like that? Copying my parents! My 1st grader used to hate milk and couldn’t drink it at all. But now, they can drink it quickly. They try not to leave any. That’s when I feel like they’ve grown up. When we’re running out of time to eat The 5th or 6th or 4th graders will cheer us on! That makes me happy! The 6th graders showed me how to fold the milk carton. And they were really nice to me. It’s yummy! This is even better than usual! It’s so good, I could eat it every day. It’s tandoori chicken! Tandoori chicken! See? Yay! Today is tandoori chicken. This dish gets its flavor from a special ingredient… Yogurt! That’s right! Tandoori chicken is marinated in curry powder and yogurt. This makes the meat tender And removes any smell, and gives it a great flavor. Be sure to chew your meat well. That’s all for now! (Students getting seconds) Sit up straight and put your hands together. Okay! Thank you for the food! Thank you for the food! This is heavy! There’s chicken here? Wait, stop! Why is there tandoori chicken here? Serving teams 5 and 6, go ahead. We’ll start cleaning up now. OK Alright, let’s go! 6th grader: That goes over here. Here? You raise your hand and the teacher will come And check if anything’s fallen on the floor. Teacher! Please check under here. Alright, looks good! Hurry! Now we’ll change clothes And then we’ll do Reading Forest. After that, we can either play or go borrow a book. (The 6th graders help the 1st graders clean up.) I believe interaction between different grade levels is very important as children grow. The 1st graders are still adjusting to school life. But they’re able to learn many new things quickly thanks to the 6th graders. They’re not just learning from adults but from their older peers. At the same time, the older students develop habits that make them good role models for younger kids. So it’s an opportunity for them to grow, too. That’s why they have lunch together. At our school, we teach kids to “love your neighbor”. We teach them to care for others. And seeing them naturally live out those lessons is truly touching. Watch out! Watch out? Yep, coming through! OK When the long hand reaches the 8 Give it all you’ve got! Huh? You’re gonna be in the lunchroom all day? Then you can’t go home! At home, I only clean like… Maybe 5 times a month. Stop splashing that! I’m not! Most classes hardly have any leftovers. They even finish things like simmered soybeans or mixed vegetables. When we’re around the kids They smile and say things like “That was so good!” or “Our school lunches are the best!” That really encourages us. It makes me happy to see the serving pots come back empty. Sometimes we even get little notes from the students. I really enjoy reading them. Their words really show how grateful they are. Also, when they return the wagons clean every day I can tell the kids are thankful. That motivates me as I start afternoon cleanup. Let’s walk together, everyone, in the light of God. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Alright! Jesus always loves and protects the little ones. Seinan Gakuin is a unified institution encompassing all levels of education, from daycare and kindergarten to elementary, middle, high school, university and graduate school. We have some 10,800 students in total currently studying at all our schools. Our greatest hope is that they go beyond this place and out into the world and help bring about peace. And when thinking about peace we believe a Christian education is essential. Our school stands on two pillars: “Loving your neighbor” and “Nurturing wisdom.” These two pillars form the foundation for everything we teach the children at the chapel and with every opportunity we have. I believe these teachings will allow them to grow. It’s not about forcing them to become Christians or believe in the Bible. It’s about offering these teachings as a foundation. So that one day when they graduate and enter the workforce or face challenges in life they’ll remember what they learned here. and the seeds we planted in elementary school will grow and bear fruit someday. That’s what we’re hoping for. Our channel strives to share the skills of true craftsmen with the world and pass them on to the next generation. Our videos and products aim to showcase the appeal, pride and philosophy behind the artisans and their craft. If even one person watches this and thinks “Japanese craftsmen are awesome!” that’s already a step toward preserving Japan’s fading traditional crafts. That’s the mission of our YouTube channel. Thanks for your support!

We visited an Elementary school in Japan, to see how they serve their impressive school lunches! The kids have so much responsibility and respect towards their lunch time it was very impressive to witness. We hope you enjoyed this episode from us!
