Local Cuisine Takes to the Skies with Lufthansa Group
With a legacy of nearly 60 years connecting Japan
with Europe, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group continue to strengthen their
ties with the country by reintroducing local catering onboard flights from the
Land of the Rising Sun to Europe.
In recognition of Japan’s deep and unique culinary
heritage, Lufthansa began serving local Japanese cuisine onboard flights
to/from Japan from October 2023. Travelers on Japanese routes can enjoy
traditional Japanese dishes such as sushi, sukiyaki and soba as they travel via
our Frankfurt and Munich hubs.
For example, customers aboard LH717 travelling from
Tokyo to Frankfurt can enjoy Japanese meals, prepared masterfully by expert
local chefs according to traditional recipes, in all cabin classes. Business
class travelers can look forward to a specially curated gastronomical
experience with a multi-course meal organized according to traditional Japanese
culinary arrangements. Beginning with appetizers served in a kobachi and zensai to
whet their appetites, the main course features an array of delicacies topped
off with a comforting soup and konomono. Premium Economy and Economy
passengers are also able to enjoy local Japanese meals on board. On First and
Business class, dishes are prepared with the freshest ingredients and served on
fine ceramic tableware, taking the experience of a traditional Japanese
restaurant to the skies. Without the need to preorder, passengers boarding
flights to/from Toyo or Osaka are offered a choice of local catering options
aboard all Lufthansa flights.
Similarly with Lufthansa, Swiss International Air
Lines has also recently introduced local catering with passengers offered their
choice of Japanese menu choices onboard flights to/from Tokyo. Passengers are
advised to pre-book their local Japanese meals when travelling to/from Tokyo
with SWISS.
With our renewed local catering concepts aboard
both Lufthansa and SWISS, Lufthansa Group remains committed to embracing
Japanese culture and reinforcing our long-standing ties with the country.
