One of the most exciting time at school is...

In Japan we have school lunch system called KYUSHOKU for elementary schools and most junior high schools. Lunch is supplied to students at school so students don't need to bring lunch with them. Students on duty serve meals other classmates. When they serve meals, they wear Japanese coverall aprons called KAPPOUGI. And everyone in the class starts eating together. School lunch provides well-balanced meal so no kids eats snacks for lunch or skip lunch. Students can learn to appreciate meals as well as to enjoy eating through KYUSHOKU.

How to drink a hot alcohol

Japanese sake is well known alcohol and has been drunk not only in Japan but also in overseas.
What's unique about sake is you can enjoy it in different temperatures such as at room temperature, cold and on the rocks or you can even make it HOT. Hot sake is called ATSUKAN and you can taste its different flavor than when it's cold. 
We drink sake with a little glass called OCHOKO which looks like a shot glass for spirit but I don't recommend you drink ATSUKAN like a shot. Enjoy an ATSUKAN's beautiful flavor in little sips.
