Emirates produces new Japanese menu to celebrate launch of Narita route
In celebration of the launch of Emirates’ new non-stop service to Tokyo Narita on 28 March, the airline has prepared a new inflight menu for all classes on both its routes to Japan – the non-stop Dubai to Narita service and the daily non-stop flight to Osaka.
The menu was made with carefully selected ingredients gathered from all over Japan. It includes Koshishikari rice from Niigata, pickles from Kyoto, green tea from Shizuoka and Asakusa Nori dried seaweed. The menu was produced to reflect each region’s culinary culture – the Tokyo 
flight will serve dishes tailored to the tastes of the Kanto people, including a red soy soup and Edo-style hand-rolled sushi. On the Osaka flight, Emirates offers more subtle flavoured dishes to suit the region’s tastes buds with a white soy soup dish and lightly pressed sushi originating from the Kansai region.
In addition to the food, passengers will be looked after by Japanese-speaking cabin crew and will be able to enjoy Emirates’ IFE system ice, featuring more than 1,200 channels of entertainment including Japanese movies, music and many Hollywood films with Japanese subtitles or language dubs.
