It's sad that if they tried having students rotate duties like cleaning and serving lunch in the US, a lot of parents would protest and say that the school is making slaves of their children. But the real goal is to teach the students humility, develop their character, and to make them a better person. Also, I think the students would think twice before littering because they know that eventually they would have to clean the mess they created.

it honestly makes me feel a little emotional, how much everyone cares about the kids, how well they all seem to get along, and how integrated the sense of appreciation and understanding of the food is into their lives. the community cared so much and made the school nice for them while they had the opportunity, and everyone works together to keep it running well...and again, they really seem to actually care about the happiness of the kids. it's just so nice. I wish the rest of the world was more like this.

To be honest, the school lunch is up to junior high school, so before graduating from junior high school, everyone said, "In a little while, the time will come when I can't eat this anymore."

This video showed more than food lunches. It showed children being raised to learn about community, respect your teachers and peers, social skills, nutrition, hygiene, helpfulness, not to be selfish, manners, food preparation, being grateful, learning and writing, life skills and many for habits which will help them in life. No doubt they learnt this from their parents, but the school reinforces ethics and values and give them more than just reading and writing.

The romanization goes crazy

I went to Japan in 2009 with a rather large group. We were there representing our home city as we are partnered with a Japanese city. Where ever we went, if it was going to be a meal time, the folks where ever we were made sure there was food like this. One day we visited an elementary school to watch a performance of their jazz band. Afterwards the children served us lunch the same way they do here. I thought it was a special treat until I spoke with our guide. She informed me that this was a very normal part of the school day. Once we were told that, many of our group offered to help clean up afterwards. In western society, someone treating you to a good lunch would shoo you away. Instead they gladly accepted the help and taught us how to stack everything and sweep up. It was a quite the experience.

But the principal said that town has high rate of obesity and diabetes among adults. So there are some issues we share, though probably not on the same level as America

Taking turns in preparing, serving, and cleaning up lunch for the school lunch duty, and having the children clean up their own classrooms before going home are also part of the social learning experience that helps them learn the significance of voluntarily keeping the environment clean through their own experiences. All of this is part of the idea that in order for each child to grow into an independent adult, school is not only about learning, but also about learning about society through their own experiences during their daily school life. They learn the necessity of these basic daily behaviors through real-life experiences and develop habits in their children. While it is very difficult to change one's behavior as an adult, it is easy to acquire them as a child, and once acquired, life thereafter becomes easier and smoother. These Japanese-style education teaches children wisdom and basic behavioral habits at school that will help them survive in social life when they become adults. Of course, the reason why this concept has been taught in Japan since ancient times as a form of discipline education for children, and has continued to the present day, is because it is a necessity that everyone living in Japan must learn in order to survive in the unique natural environment of Japan, a warm and humid island nation surrounded by the sea, which is geopolitically very different from life on the continent. In Japan, during the period of compulsory public elementary school education (ages 6-12), children attend school and go to school under the guidance of the Board of Education of each local prefectural government, which determines the system of attending elementary schools under its jurisdiction independently for each region. In many cases, elementary school students in the neighborhood where they live form a group as ”a children's association”, and each year, a leader student is chosen and the children gather in groups under the leader to go to school alone. This is called the "group school attendance" system. In public schools, children from all neighborhoods, regardless of parental wealth, gather together and go to school alone. Each children's association has its own fixed route to school. Therefore, there is no need for parents to drive their children to and from school. The PTA organization, consisting mainly of parents from the community, takes turns assisting the children to school at designated areas, such as busy and dangerous intersections, with volunteers including mothers of children in the children's association and retired elderly people from the community. (They carry yellow flags for traffic safety and assist with traffic signals, etc.) There are two advantages to this system: One is that the children's parents can commute to their own jobs in the morning, saving time from having to attend to the children's transportation to and from school every day. The second benefit is that children do not have to depend on their parents to go to school, and instead, they are able to foster a sense of independence and self-reliance by going to school together. This is a great opportunity for children to experience and learn about social activities. This is possible because all parents and adults share the awareness that "all children are the treasure of society" and that "helping children grow is an important factor in improving society in the future. It can be done because all adults (not just their own children) share the awareness that "helping all children in the community in which they reside grow up is an important factor for the betterment of their own country and society," and because they believe it is important to "support and help each other to grow up, not just their own children, but all children in all communities." They also believe that by allowing children to go to school alone, this activity will help them to lose their habit of relying on adults, to look after their environment and protect themselves by themselves, and to grow in the spirit of self-responsibility and self-reliance.

My USA school lunch was reheated frozen fast food basically - completely void of nutrients and they deemed French fries as an appropriate vegetable. A couple of times I almost broke a tooth on plastic pieces inside of a chicken patty in the sandwich I ate. Japan really takes care of their children and citizens ❤❤❤

I work in a low-income school in downtown Minneapolis. When I say that watching this video is like watching something from another planet, I really mean it. The food we have here is frankenfood (meaning often processed foods, and lots of oils and salt), but it’s the best we can get right now because education in the states is NOT well-funded in comparison to military funding. Also the organization, the pleasant smiles, the manners, the serving of others, the sense of community and the peace of all this is just wonderful to see. It makes me sad though. My school is trying, but we still have stressed out kitchen staff screaming at the kids, deans overseeing lunch to handle fights that break out every two weeks or so, kids standing up and running around, and tired and hardworking janitors cleaning up all the messes that everyone leaves behind. It’s just sad by comparison. I wish that we could find a way to change, but it’s only possible with an attitude shift, and that will take a loooooong time. So, I take hope, pleasure and encouragement in just watching the success of places like this with well-established nationwide attitudes that serve the community beyond just the self.

I'm a local Japanese. It's not only possible with an attitude shift. I do not believe this is such a simple issue. First of all, the most important thing for US policymakers is US hegemony in the world. In other words, military power and national security. In this context, I believe that healthcare and social security have become tools for money-making. As an extension of this, agriculture and the food industry, and inexpensive processed foods form the American food culture. The strong US economy and military are due to this profit-driven mindset, and the Japanese way of doing things is sure to be condemned as " Socialistic ". I read other American's comment : It's sad that if they tried having students rotate duties like cleaning and serving lunch in the US, a lot of parents would protest and say that the school is making slaves of their children.

pizza I worked at several Japanese schools myself and they Principals and Vice Principals never stay in the office. I come to work and usually see them pruning shrubs, raking leaves or sweeping up the school’s long driveway. Then they stay outside and greet the kids coming into the school. They aren’t usually in suits. They come in suits, but then change into their athletic gear because they do manual work about half the day. It’s amazing.

The irony is that people think this level of quality is the result of government spending, but the reality is that this quality is the result of the careful care of the community and hard-working staff that work and care for the schools. There is an over-arching emphasis on the community and care of that community by the families and individuals inside the community. Something that Europe & America can learn from.

I. Absolutely. Adore. The way these Japanese schools teach through their lunch program. And I love how seriously they take it. When I worked in our high school’s kitchen, we were lucky to have 5 people every day to feed 300-400 kids. There was always something going on, we’d have to send someone to another school, it was chaos. Thirteen would be a D R E A M. And I really love the variety in the dishes. There’s a repetition in that there are always stews and rice, but they’re different. Different sources of protein, different kinds of stews to introduce different flavors, and using what’s in season for the best flavors. Delicious!

In Japan, most elementary schools and junior high schools have kyushoku, and in high school, kids bring mom's lunch box from home every day. Each local government decides on menus and badget for evey kyushoku,they hand out the kyushoku menu at the beginning of evey month, so that moms know what their children eat for the lunch and can think about the dinner（try to cook with different ingredients） for each day. Well I'm one of the moms who cook bento for her son every day, I usually get up 20-30min. earlier to make bento, try to avoid frozen food and cook healthy meals. Most moms do that, we even prepare the night before. That is because we strongly believe in the concept that "what we eat makes our body and mind." 〜Further knowledge from Japanese mom in her 40's who also grew up with kyushoku

I gotta say, as a Canadian, watching your videos sure gives me an updated view of Japan. From their seemingly well organized schools and their healthy lunch plans. I can see why Japan is a successful country.

The one thing I disliked about it was that the only beverage they served you was milk, and honestly milk and rice do not go well together. But the other kids in my class didn’t seem to mind, seeing that there were always quite a few people that wanted second cartons of milk (only happens when someone is absent). Kids would have heated battles of Rock Paper Scissors over second helpings, especially over dessert.

Milk anr ice go extremely well together. I am from Bengal in India and in the eastern part of the country , rice plus milk is quite the staple. Try milk plus rice plus banana. Its heavenly.

​@@djokerdevil In India you mainly eat Indica rice right? In Japan we mainly eat Japonica rice which is sticky and short-grained, so it doesn’t go as well with milk compared to Indica rice. I’d love to try milk, rice and banana though!

This is a very good lunch system for the kids. It teaches them many things like teamwork, self-sufficiency, the importance of cleanliness and nutrition, agriculture, responsibility, a sense of community effort and efficiency, etc. So many skills that can be applied to real life living and survival as they go out into the world in their adult lives. I have a high respect for the Japanese culture.

Japan: eating is important to a have a healthy body made with all fresh ingredients daily USA: if you can't pay you child lunch dept they won't eat but we make sure prisoners have 3 meals for free

My school has free lunch program for kids who can't afford. I'm at least grateful that even though there are unhealthy burgers and pizza every day, there is still fruits, veggies, and yogurt parfaits as a healthy choice for the kids who can afford. I bring my own lunch tho.☺️♥️

Pennsylvania: if you can't repay school lunch debt, we're going to forcefully remove your children and put them in foster care. Hey I guess we _could_ help you out as a poor, struggling parent, but we'll take your kids instead without any evidence of mistreatment.

Not every country is rich

I really appreciate the way children are given responsibility of preparing and serving of school lunch. Well behaved children. 👏

Immense respect for the Japanese Culture. They have modernized but yet kept their values and traditions.

I’m Japanese, actually I didn’t notice our school lunch was luxurious. Because these were my daily life but now I think this school lunch and system would really helpful for covering enough nutrition, also collaboration with my peers and appreciation with food and someone who cook for us. Now I’m living Canada and I realize difference between Japan and other countries clearly, when I was in Japan I couldn’t figure out good points of Japan but there are lots of things just I can’t see. I love my country 😍 ( Canada too!)

i feel the same way. i grew up in texas and the school lunches were made fresh in the cafeteria, and once i moved to california, and saw their school lunches were all prepackaged food sitting under heat lamps, i instantly noticed the difference and really appreciated the school food i had in texas.

It's not so much luxurious, as simple ingredients are being prepared with a lot of thought and care. No wonder the people in Japan are so healthy.

my kids got disgusting chicken nuggets, frozen of course and disgusting pizza. America is all talk no action when it comes to caring for kids and adults. Our healthcare system is a joke and schools in general are a joke. They care more about whether a kid learns trig than if they are eating well or learning social skills/manners. The US is driven by the bottom line and too individualistic in its thinking. We need to get rid of these career politicians and get people who actually want to make changes. I could go on and on about the short comings in this country but then I would give myself an aneurysm.

The elementary school where my son went distributed the month’s menu in advance, along with the list of all ingredients. In this way, the parents are assured of nutritional balance and can alert the school if the child has an allergy to particular ingredients (in which case, an adjusted menu will be provided to the kid). It is also an attempt to teach the kids the joy of tasting variety of foods. When the whole class eats the same thing, the kids will try vegetables, mushrooms, mildly spicy food or whatever they would not have at home. With the menu distributed, the parents know what the kids had and bring it up in conversation at home, knowing what they can now eat that they did not before. His school also had a couple of international dish days, Korean food, Indian food, etc.

"as a principal, I have to eat and check the good before it's served to the children." Principals in the US would gag at the suggestion to try school lunches before giving them out to students. It's a shame that they know it's of poor quality and still choose to give them to the students.

I feel like they live in a separate world everything that they do is done smoothly and well organized.

Wdym mean? That’s probably predominantly in America that you get greasy fast food. Go to Europe. It’s quite similar. Go to a kindergarten in Germany. The children also pick fruits and vegetables from their own garden there.

My school is like “we need to eat healthy” and the next day they serve us greasy pizza.And to make it worse,the pizza taste terrible.

Dead usually the pizza is the better option along with salad bar that is just lettuce maybe some carrots and cucumber maybe and only ranch dressing. They did have a Taco Bell in school that served limited menu items from Taco Bell. ;Taco,burrito only) I think the school paid Taco Bell to use their wrappers, recipe etc.. but it by no means is on the free lunch menu, like EVER. It is a sad day in school when they ruin pizza.

I’m so glad that you have a good images about “kyusyoku”💓 I am a high school student in Japan. I ate “kyusyoku “ every day in junior high and elementary school. Most Japanese high schools don’t serve “kyusyoku” and we have to bring or buy lunch every day. My mom’s lunch is so good but I want to eat it again🥺🥺

I'm 60. I went to a Japanese elementary school in a small local town in Japan. Our school Kyushoku was so tasty every day. Amazingly It was 50 years ago.

In Japan, being a teacher is one of the top paying jobs. This explains why schools are so disciplined, and teachers are passionate. Not many countries can afford this, and those who could, chose not to do so, hence, the disparity in education quality.
