Yes, we splurged for Business Class. If you don’t care to see what Business Class has to offer, please move along. It is pricey but I think can be very worth it for long legs of travel. The ability to lie flat and sleep is priceless.

Purple Yam Nicoise Salad
Spam & Caramelized Maui Onion Crostini
Purple Yam Nicoise Salad
Sounds better than it tastes, which is bland
Spam & Caramelized Maui Onion Crostini
So yeah, I’m pretty sure I was eating “raw” spam here. I mean I ate it but…it was basically raw spam. I know it’s not really raw but you know what I mean! It wasn’t too bad lol.
Japanese Cuisine – Washoku
Shusai (Main Dish)
Simmered Sea Bream in Soy-based Sauce | Steamed Rice
The fish was seasoned and cooked well! I enjoyed this!
Miso Soup
Zensai (A Selection of Morsels)
Japanese Omelet, Simmered Runner Bean in Syrup, Grilled Squid with Dried Fish Roe, Deep-fried Fishcake
I enjoyed this zensai very much so, not sure what runner bean is but now I’m curious. Very nice appetizer!
Kobachi (Tasty Tidbits)
Steamed Chicken with Flavored Soy Sauce
Eh, it’s fine.
ANA Original ~Kaoru Fukuoka~ Tonkotsu Style Ramen
a mild tonkotsu style soup paired with thin noodles that complement the soup perfectly. toppings like red pickled ginger and flavored oil are available. please enjoy with your preferred seasoning.
If they offer up a noodle, I gotta try it! Very happy I tried this. Too bad I didn’t get it when we came home too. The flight home felt so much shorter so I didn’t have enough room in my tummy for it.
Noodle Pull!
Yum!
Sandwich Set
Warm Basil Cream Chicken Sandwich | Yogurt with Passion Fruit Jelly
The sandwich was just whatever but the yogurt, oh the yogurt was so good. Felt like the plain yogurt was a thicker texture and the passion fruit jelly was wonderful. I’m going to try to make my own at home.
Oh my! My son liked his flight to Japan with ANA (business class) and he said the lounge opens up to the gate! Sheesh.
They served all that food on one flight? Sheesh.
You know what, we all deserve first class. It really is worth it, especially for the soul.
Hahaha yes it really is a splurge but is so nice. Yes the whole plane should be first class!!!
food looks great, plus for the leg room & lying flat
The food and lay flat is what makes it worth it. Actually lay flat alone makes it worth it lol
Kinda weird but I think the Japanese option going HNL to NRT is much better than NRT to HNL. I was very disappointed because Japanese food from Japan, thought NRT to HNL should be better. I had the international going over which was good but comparing just by looks….my sides on the return were kinda spongy. I didn’t enjoy. Some kind of grilled swordfish that was too fishy. Slept through the sandwich snack and missed the yogurt! I thought the ramen was so salty.
LOL, I feel weird lying down on the plane with people walking by so i just recline. I do like their selection of movies and their wi-fi is so sketchy.
Hahaha I always end up getting Japanese option both ways. I asked if Western has rice and it was no so I had to go Japanese route lol.
The WiFi didn’t work AT ALL going to NRT. worked much better coming home.
Nice! At my age; I always fly business or first…
As I’m getting up there in age, I agree and completely agree even if my wallet doesn’t.
