What's the ITM lounge like as it is right now? anything to eat except snacks?
Beer, booze or just green tea and soft drinks?

Even with the domestic Diamond Premium lounge (Emerald), you will only get freshly-baked breads (2 types) in the morning or some riceballs for the rest of the day. There are beers and a bottle of Japanese whisky but no wine or Sake.

I should go and have a look some day soon... It would be a good excuse to get some Sapporo miso ramen as well!

That looks great. Previous place was a bit of dungeon and seemed a lot smaller.

HIJ will be closed between early Jan and late Mar 2017. JAL will offer a meal coupon for use at airport lounge "Momiji" or shops inside the terminal for the affected passengers.
