Musashino City School Lunch & Dietary Education Promotion Foundation in Japan prepares massive quantities of school lunches, called kyushoku, every day. Employing a staff of 70 workers, the kitchen is able to cook and package all of its meals in three hours so they can be delivered hot and fresh for lunchtime.
We got an inside look into the foundation’s massive kitchen to see how cooks prepare these lunches in such big batches.

When cooking is too clean you miss out on life
There's always that one guy eating the children's food…
A mothers touch always makes the food taste better
It is so cute to see these kids smiling while talking about nutritious food.
I am so jealous. In india no matter how much you pay there is not a single hotel with good clean environment. Only very high end expensive restaurants have clean environment.
Nothing wrong with wanting nutritious meals, but the amount of "misconception" Japan always amazes me. Like hiring mothers because of certain motherly instincts like common, what next, a woman can't be an engineer, because of some "scientific" logic?? Like this REALLY bothers me about Japan. Superstition and outdated backwards ideas presented as "science".
The hygiene level is like a drug factory! Of course, as I often see such comments, poor income places simply cannot afford a 30% increase in price for the sake of such hygiene. And honestly, in the end, the cooking process kills most pathogenic contamination. So if it's steaming before being served, you're good, unless the food (especially meat) was already spoiled prior.
What happens when governments care about their citizens.
American schools could learn a few things from this especially know what the hell you are feeding our kids
しかし今、自民党政権がこれを崩壊させようとしています….
This is why their healthcare system isn't overloaded and criticized as much as the American one is. Everyone's healthy already! they don't NEED the healthcare system!
Could the modern American do this if implemented?
the Japanese pay close attention to detail . they follow rules. They are very timely never late. they don't take shortcuts.
Americans look down on cooking. they all want to be influencers
Kids get one choice a day. They don't get to bring a sack lunch. There are very few other ethnicities besides the Japanese so there aren't complaints about the food.
Teachers don't take lunch periods off. they sit in the classroom with children to manage and make sure things run smoothly as well as food is eaten and not wasted. Could American teachers not take lunch off? Would they accept Sitting in the classroom making sure everyone ate their meal?
Teaching in Japan was never a part-time job. teachers don't leave at 3:00 in Japan or even five or six. they don't have summer vacations. At least half the teachers are men because it's to demanding for a woman who has a family to raise at home. the women who teach are either not married yet with no children or their children have grown. It's a completely different set up from top to bottom.
No college student ever said I want to be a teacher because they have Summers off. In fact they might say the opposite.
Government is supposed to do things that are necessary butaren't profitable for the private sector to accomplish. it's not profitable to make all this food with organic ingredients and serious and skilled workers at a profit. But if you find out that only 3% of the population grows up to be obese compared to 40% of Americans you realize it's necessary.
they make a monetary loss but a massive social gain. not because they're paying superintendents and hiring their donor's brother-in-law. they're paying the people that deserve it:The organic farmers, the huge and high quality staff it requires.
Very sanitary! I only wish that American kitchens were as good in today's age! Back when I was in school 70s & 80s the food was delicious and filling. My kiddo who graduated in 2022 was served bagged and plastic tasting food, YUCK!
I'm fascinated by everything associated with Japan . Its just such a fascinating country.
Japanese school lunches look so good
In usa schools if the guns don't get you the ultra processed non fresh food will imbibe your body with the seeds of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Sorry usa ..
学校給食は控えめに言ってすげぇ美味しいよ。俺のときは月額3000円以下だったかなぁ。お好み焼きやプリンの余りは争奪戦だった。焼き魚や野菜炒めはやや不人気だったけどね。でも野菜の煮物やおひたしはどれも美味かった。白ごはんもお代わりしたなぁ。パンも好きだった
The difference between this one and all the indian kitchens is funny
Good policy in the school system 🎉🎉❤
if only America did this. Instead we get slop that has been 1000x processed.
No wonder why obesity rate is so low in Japan. They cultivate healthy eating habits at an early age.
Indian cooking should follow
Just beautiful ❤
I noticed how healthy the children looked. None were overweight.
My son and granddaughter lives in Japan. He always talks about the school lunches.
really good, how you are cleaning such large vessels and machines. can you show me the process
Its nice to see that the Breaking Bad lab gets a second life after the series!

this video is really impressive! the efficiency and organization in that kitchen are on another level. however, i can't help but feel that the quality of the meals might suffer a bit with such large-scale production. it makes me wonder if kids actually enjoy the lunches or just see them as another chore. what do you all think?
I truly admire Japan for doing everything they can to raise their younger generations in a healthy way. This is something deeply admirable and undoubtedly serves as a lesson in humanity for the entire world. I salute you all with great respect.
Unfortunately, in our country children grow up lacking this level of thoughtfulness and dedication. Most schools don’t even have dining halls (and those that do often lack such dedication and hygiene). Instead, schools usually have canteens where they sell toast, sandwiches, or quick packaged snacks like crackers and biscuits. Families struggle financially, making it difficult for them to give their children money for meals or allowances. As a result, our younger generations face nutritional challenges and cannot develop strong immune systems. Moreover, irregular and unhealthy eating habits negatively affect both their physical health and cognitive development. The number of children developing chronic illnesses continues to rise as well. On top of all this, schools fail to meet proper hygiene standards.
While I rejoice in your success, I am equally saddened by the failures and lack of consideration in my own country.
Ein Land der lebt nach dem Motto;Du bist was du isst. Sagt schon mehr über die Gesellschaft aus . Damit die Kinder Kraft haben und gesund sind hängt von der Qualität des Essens. Das nenne ich Fortschritt und kein Deppen Land wo in jede Ecke geschossen wird und im Müll und dreck erstickt.
Many honoroburu!
Anyone from India MID DAY MEAL 😅
Reminds me of indian street food
7:50 grooming child
1. See this amazing food
2. Question: What´s the defference between a school class, 25 Children, in the US and Japan ?
Answer: 600 KG
It is perfect.
The hygiene, the ingredients, the preparation, the nutritious values, the quantity, quality and the variety of the food and the though-fullness in every single step from choosing ingredients , cleaning, preparing to the finished meals it is all in all perfect.
But, i mean, what did we expect? It is japan we are talking about after all.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I wish my government used this video as an example for free lunch at school using local ingredients with limited budget. Food safety is a must, But it is so sad many people don’t understand it. How to cook properly for children.
"The cooks are parents of children who attend the school, so the care in preparing the meal is the highest." Jeez if only our schools in the US cared that much…but in reality, there are struggles with public school funding across swathes of the country.
