Ramen reminds me, the meal you get before landing in NRT when you fly United Business is a Cup A Soup, with the UAL logo on it. Which is pretty appropriate, just amuses people when I tell them because they figure every course up front has caviar in it somehow.
I've never gotten instant noodles on United C or F to/from Japan except sometimes as one of the mid-flight snacks on the westbound stretches. The meal served before arrival generally is either a hot dish with a small fruit bowl or a fruit/yoghurt plate, passenger chooses. Are you sure?
