Lunch Together

In the public schools of the city of Minoh, near Osaka, school lunch, kyūshoku, is eaten in the classroom. The pupils on lunch duty carry the food in and serve it. When everything is ready, everyone sits down, and the meal begins with itadakimasu.

When they have finished, the pupils say gochisōsama deshita to give thanks, and then clear their dishes in turn.
