1. Way better than America. Enjoy and I hope you feel better soon

2. What all is, it looks like shrimp and broccoli, and what else

3. Way better than the crap you get in a Hospital in the UK. Looks great! Get well soon.

4. Omg I think I need to go the hospital

5. What’s next to the orange?

6. I hope that you get well soon!

7. The shrimp tempura was *clearly* premade and frozen. Pffft.

   /s

8. How was the tempura?

9. Just FYI, your name is visible on the paper.

10. 👍👍

11. If I needed to get hospitalized, I would definitely go to Japan. Health care cost is less than one third of that of the US.

12. The food is nothing crazy, just looks like it was prepared by someone who either cares about you or cares about their job. Such a small but fundamental difference

13. I need this hospital in my life lol

14. I wonder if you get the same food for general hospitalization vs the stay after pregnancy (paper says 産婦食 B, so this is an after birth care meal).

15. This meal is to die for.

16. Is this meal for a dainty 78 year old woman? This is a comically small amount of food and the glazing here is incredible

17. What are the greens? It all looks delicious.

18. I was in the hospital recently and food was so bad I could only stomach broth, jello, and tea. I would have killed for this!

19. Ooh, is that nameko in the miso soup? Yum!

20. lol an American would see this and be like “is this a snack?”.

    I did once have ok’ish hospital food in the USA. The quality wasn’t the greatest but the meals were surprisingly balanced and portioned well and was ok enough flavor.

    This meal in this picture looks good and looks well proportioned.

21. The stark difference between this and American hospital food is depressing.
