Very easy to get seconds. Just let them know you hope for it when you are served and they will pay attention that request if at all possible. Usually it is if most other pax are Japanese as they tend to (not a hard and fast rule but based on 27 years of observation flying JL) go for Japanese options.

Great. In the past I've asked for caviar + the Japanese meal. And they've always graciously accommodated me. I plan to do the same this time, but with the caveat that my kids will be ordering Western and will happily allocate their caviar to me.
Thanks for your input.

If there's extra, I am sure the CA will happy to offer you more but you are NOT entitled to them just because you have kids ordering from the Western menu. I am sure if other passengers want it, the CA will just do the same and serve the extra caviar.

Allocating their caviar would mean they order caviar as their appetizer and give it to you instead. It's not theirs if they don't order it. If there's extra, I am sure the CA will happy to offer you more but you are NOT entitled to them just because you have kids ordering from the Western menu.

A bit more colour - on international flights, I'll let my kids order whatever they want. As much ice cream, as much Sprite...anything goes. The one caveat is that prior to departure, they're required to learn how to ask politely and express their gratitude, but it MUST be in the language of the flight crew.
When they started flying at around 4 and 6, this was a good way to get them thinking about the trip in advance. I also found it helped defuse any initial tension, as certain crews and I'd say the majority of passengers are initially put off by young kids in the Premium cabin. It's quite satisfying to wake from a nap, and find your six year old happily plowing through Sprite and cheesecake, but being reassured by the crew that he asked in Mandarin.
It's less of a big deal now that they're teens. In fact, for JL, there's not a ton to learn. "Diet-o Coke-u onegai shimasu" is certainly easier than what was required on Qatar!!
