The gateway to East Asia
When visiting Motoni Elementary school in the Okomoto Area, we were allowed to partake in the school lunch. Many times on visits we look for the best food or the most exotic. I very much enjoyed learning, seeing and eating the food that students in Japan eat in public schools. The food included pre-packaged tofu, milk, rice, fried fish and special soup in dedication of a festival. The food is served in classrooms because there are no cafeterias and students are in charge of getting the food, distributing the food to other students and then cleaning up the room after.
