Had the typical Japanese fare I saw posted earlier.

I had the beer braised beef cheek.

I was astonished that this was the best meal I ever had in the air. Wife said the Japanese meal wasn't all that bad either. This is comparing it to the offering on the DEN-HND route a year earlier.

Only gripe was that they did not have a lot of each choice, so they were running out of options and a lot of people had to settle for second choice. I was so pleased with the meal, I broke a long taboo of not ordering the egg dish for breakfast. The cheese omelet was not spectacular, but much better than I thought it would be.

The 777 had the older business class configuration, where you need to step over someone if you are in the middle. The annoying thing was two pillows, two blankets, amenity kit, slippers... I looked like someone who looted a Bed Bath & Beyond holding all that crap on take off.
