Behind the scenes:
This menu is inspired by a traditional Japanese breakfast. It includes miso soup and rice, served in the form of onigiri (rice balls) to make it easier for children to eat. The side dishes are tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), tofu steak, and a tofu salad made by blending tofu into a paste and mixing it with boiled vegetables. For dietary fiber intake, kinpira made with burdock root and carrots was prepared. For dessert, strawberries—children’s favorite—were chosen to provide a good source of vitamins.
