School lunch guidance

With the goal of helping children eat healthily, we team up with teachers and work with children to discover the secrets of food. On “Bento Day” every Wednesday, we offer a variety of colorful bento boxes, and we hope that your child will be interested in making their own bento boxes.

Children’s efforts

Once a month, we hold an exchange lunch in the lunch room for paired grades (1st and 6th years, 2nd and 5th years, 3rd and 4th years). Here, the upperclassmen teach the lowerclassmen about the deliciousness of food and create a peaceful atmosphere by asking quizzes. In addition, the children on the steering committee have set up a “Food Can Pika Pika Day” (making sure that there is no rice or side dishes on the tableware) to encourage children to eat properly. These reliable Kikunoko children think and act on their own to help children have a better school life.

Contents of school lunch

We use pesticide-free rice, additive-free ham, bacon, and sausages, seasonal ingredients, and local vegetables. We also make sure to make homemade food (fries, tempura, dressing, roux, soup stock, etc.), and incorporate seasonal dishes, local dishes from various regions, and event foods to ensure that students have an enjoyable school lunch time.

Menu example

About allergies

We have a check system in place for allergies by nutritionists, school nurses, and homeroom teachers. Elimination diets are not available. You will be asked to bring alternative meals from home.

(1) Submit the School Life Guidance Management Sheet (for allergies).

(2) We will distribute a detailed menu list.

(3) Families with children with allergies will mark the menu with items they cannot eat and items they can eat on that day and send it back to school.

(4) Pass out the card on the day of the school day and check with the school lunch, child care, manager, and homeroom teacher to make sure the child is aware of not eating it at school.
