It actually looks pretty good if you only had to eat it once every six months or so.
9:
>>2
Nah, what are you talking about?
They’re eating better than a single guy like me.
20:
>>9
If things are really that bad, wouldn’t it make more sense to rely on your parents for a while or look for a new job while getting unemployment benefits?
26:
>>20
No, no, I’ve got money.
I’m just too lazy to cook or even go out and buy food.
34:
>>26
Then that’s just your lifestyle, isn’t it?
I don’t really get it.
41:
>>26
Funny how people who say “I’ve got money” tend to actually have no money.
3:
Way too luxurious.
They should just give them leftovers.
5:
Looks healthy, though.
8:
That’s some special deluxe feast they made for the TV crew.
12:
Can you get seconds?
13:
Those are actually more decent meals than what I eat. LOL…
14:
I bet the nutritional balance is perfect too.
⭐️LINK:
15:
The fourth one looks pretty luxurious.
17:
It looks like it has barely any seasoning, so it honestly looks bland.
Might be good enough for old geezers, though.
19:
Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt, there’s not enough protein.
28:
>>19
They deliberately keep it low so they won’t build muscle.
31:
>>28
Seriously? Well, that’s an eye-opener.
29:
I want to eat elementary school lunches forever.
Is there no system that lets you do that?
100:
>>29
Get a teaching license.
32:
So they get to eat healthy food three times a day. Amazing.
35:
Why the hell are people who committed crimes allowed to sit around eating meals like this?
38:
>>35
Because they work from morning until evening.
36:
Meals at the Japan Coast Guard Academy, which trains officers for the Japan Coast Guard.
43:
>>36
Basically all carbs.
58:
>>36
You can buy extra food at the campus store if that’s not enough, right?
129:
>>36
Is this a kids’ meal? lol
37:
It looks luxurious, but I wouldn’t want to eat it.
It kind of looks like hospital food.
40:
Prison inmates do work, right?
I wonder what the food is like at detention centers where death-row inmates are held.
52:
>>40
The inmates make the food there too, and the portions are pretty big.
It’s actually pretty good.
72:
>>52
Oh, really?
44:
So the expression “eat stinky food” doesn’t really work anymore.
⭐️NOTE:
Eat sinky food (臭い飯を食う) is a Japanese idiom meaning to go to prison / serve time.
The commenter is joking that if prison food looks this decent, the expression doesn’t really make sense anymore.
46:
Those sweetened green peas are actually damn good.
⭐️NOTE: Sweetened green peas (うぐいす豆 uguisu-mame) is a traditional Japanese sweet topping. It is made by boiling green peas with sugar until they are soft and sweet.
47:
It’s definitely not luxurious.
The fact that Japan sees something like this as “good food” is a problem.
48:
A VIPPER’s dinner.
⭐️NOTE:
VIPPER refers to a user of VIP Board (Breaking News VIP) on 5ch. Here, “a VIPPER’s dinner” is basically a self-deprecating joke implying that the meal looks like something an average 5ch user would eat.
50:
57:
>>50
Nagoya City is seriously terrible.
⭐️NOTE:
51:
It’s basically the perfect environment for overweight people.
A regular daily routine and well-balanced, low-calorie meals.
53:
I was in pretrial detention, so it might be different from prison, but the food there was actually pretty good.
55:
Those are some pretty healthy-looking meals.
56:

What’s the point of cutting the head off the saury in the fourth picture?
⭐️NOTE:
Pacific saury (秋刀魚 sanma) is a popular seasonal fish in Japan, especially associated with autumn. The most popular way to cook it is to simply grill it with some salt.
108:

>Because it could be used as a weapon.
60:
Man, this brings back memories lol.
Bread is served only once a week, so you’re really happy when you get it.
Also, Osaka and Fukuoka are said to have such good food that they’re practically known as “gourmet prisons.”
Fukuoka really did have the best food imo.
61:
It’d probably look a lot better if they used different dishes.
65:
People have different body sizes, yet everyone gets the same amount?
69:
>>65
The amount of rice depends on your height. They have things like “A-meal” and “B-meal” with different potions of rice.
Also, you get a larger portion if you’re working in a factory where the job involves a lot of standing.
66:
They’re being treated better than seems fair.
I don’t see why they need to change criminals’ meals every single day.
71:
>>66
Well, if they gave them a nutritionally unbalanced diet and they died in prison, that would cause a problem.
67:
They work during the day, so at least let them have a decent meal.
68:
It costs 5–6 million yen a year to house and support one criminal in prison.
Warm food, clothing, and housing—all paid for with our tax money.
76:
>>68
It doesn’t cost that much, does it?
Aside from needing guards and such, it’s basically like a dormitory.
Besides, if they’re serving a prison labor sentence, they at least give something back through their work.
82:
>>68
Heating or air conditioning is basically nonexistent.
75:
They’re eating pretty well.
And it’s well-balanced, too.
25:
Low-level salarymen probably eat shittier food than this, LOL.
