Every now and then, Japanese schools surprise us with a “special” menu, and today’s was くじら肉 (whale meat). It caught me off guard, but apparently it's a once-a-year kind of thing.
When I was in Hyogo, we had wild boar and sweet black beans their both local specialties. It’s kind of cool how school lunches can reflect the local culture in such unexpected ways.
What’s the most unusual or region-specific school lunch you’ve ever had in Japan? Did anything totally surprise you?
