The Fukuoka City Board of Education plans to upgrade kitchen equipment in elementary schools to expand lunch options. At a meeting with Mayor Soichiro Takashima on October 27, the board proposed introducing ovens, steamers, and vacuum coolers to serve more diverse and hygienic meals. The estimated cost exceeds ¥2 billion, and the board requested budget support. Takashima encouraged detailed budget planning before submission. The board also suggested occasionally replacing milk with tea to better complement Japanese-style lunches, a change the mayor supported. Source: Yomiuri
