Meals in the Air

I travel a lot and throughout my travels, airplane food can get quite boring and tend to taste the same. But on the odd occasion, my meals are actually quite yummy.

My last trip to Japan, I got this Hanakoireki, which gives you a taste of the changing seasons, from fall, winter, spring and summer.  The first box is with cold dishes and once I was done, I was given the second one with warm dishes.  It is served with hot green tea and ends with matcha ice cream.  Oishi J


Clockwise in box from bottom left: somen, omelette with chrysanthemum leaf, tofu with jelly wasabi, deep fried mackerel, and the somen sauce.  Cup of green tea and my beloved red wine :-)


Clockwise in box from bottom left: rice (so obvious) with achovies and sweet chili; grilled ayu fish with green gourd and sesame sauce; eel terrine with yam, edamame and eel role; octopus with grilled eggplant and baby okra; cucumber and salmon role, octopus eggs, miso eggplant and river shrimp.  Cup of miso soup on the right.
