Where else can you get salmon, cod, duck, shrimp, beef and tofu all in one meal? All were amazing; the beef was a particular standout, despite it not photographing well - really soft and tender, and went well with the tofu which absorbed some of the juices...

Prearrival meal was weaker - the ginger pork was okay, a bit of a breaded and fried type presentation. But not at all memorable like the main meal was, and I actually had a bit of regret vs my seatmate’s eggs and sausage.

I can’t get over their croissants pairing with rice dish for breakfast meal. I know it’s optimized for scrambled egg or similarly western entree but wish they fixed this oversight. Kaiseki from NRT to SEA was good. Never tried Japanese for flights leaving the US. Gave up on their steak since it’s usually way overdone and flavorless. Did you try the braised beef? Was that any good?
