It has the usual Pana IFE, small seat pitch and 9-abreast, which again is typically configured for regional. My coworker took the flight during the week (mine was on a weekend) and my coworker was served with a usual meal and his ticket does not not have "Operated by Air Japan" indication. I don't know if it's because it's on a weekend thing.

Thankfully, I usually get that segment operated by CI, so I am not too worried.
Can't tell you what happened to your meal. My NH844 operated by AirJapan still had hot meal, matching the website

As of now, NH851 is operated by air Japan, and still scheduled to have hot meal ( choice of two options). Similar meal options to nh853 (operated by ana)

(Economy meal, search for HND - Taipei nh851)

Part lazy part lack of inspiration perhaps.

NQ already has AOC since 1990 while zipair/jal didn't
