Shinkansen dining car with cook to order? Wow.

Nice dining is sort of coming back onto dedicated sightseeing + dining trains.

The Aru Ressha Sweets Train (more Sweet life than dessert Sweet) from JR Kyushu is 25,000 pp based on 2 passengers at 2 person table. The menu is designed by Yoshihiro Narisawa. I think meals are probably loaded cooked and plated since it only runs with two dining cars.

The overnight luxury trains like Seven Stars Kyushu and JR West Twilight Express Mizukaze have actual prep and kitchen space onboard.
