China Airlines has partnered with Toutouan, a famous restaurant in Tokyo, to offer Premium Business and Business Class passengers with “natural style” Japanese cuisine on all the Taiwan-carrier's Japan routes.
Scheduled to commence on 15 January 2023, the food will be served on new Japanese tableware to enhance the experience.
Toutouan, a premium banquet restaurant passed down through three generations of the same family, is part of the Kurochaya Restaurant Group which was founded more than fifty years ago.
Passengers flying Premium Business and Business Class on China Airlines’ flagship Japan routes, including Taipei (Taoyuan) to Tokyo (Narita), Osaka Fukuoka and Nagoya, Taipei (Songshan) to Tokyo (Haneda), as well as Kaohsiung to Tokyo (Narita) and Osaka, will be able to enjoy Japanese in-flight cuisine created by Araki Hironaka, the Japanese head chef of the original Toutouan in Tokyo, and Wei-Ting Chen, the head chef of Toutouan in Taipei, the brand's only overseas restaurant.
The first offering will be the “Imperial Cuisine of Early Spring” with Teriyayki Wagyu Beef as the main dish. Premium Japanese Wagyu Beef is served with wasabi and teriyaki sauce alongside Hokkaido Yumepirika rice famed for its fragrance and sweet taste. The menu will change to reflect main dishes made with seasonal ingredients.
