Wing Restaurant Reception (1)

This is the departure lobby of Haneda Airport Terminal 2 (domestic). Before boarding, guests are allowed to use the ANA domestic lounge, so the first step is to “check in’’ at the domestic ANA counter.

In front of the trumpet-shaped sculpture, you can see the sign “Wing Restaurant HANEDA Reception – Entrance.”

Wing Restaurant Reception (2)

This is the actual check-in counter for “Wing Restaurant HANEDA.”

Admission Ticket

Before boarding the aircraft that will serve as today’s special “restaurant,” I was able to use the ANA Lounge. This is the lounge access voucher.

I will be attending the evening session.

View from the Lounge

After entering the ANA Lounge, this is the view outside. You can enjoy the sight of Haneda’s apron and Tokyo Bay.

Boarding Items (1)

These are the items I received during the check-in process.

A handwritten message was written on the back of the “HAPPY FLIGHT” card.

Beer and Snacks

Two beers and some snacks I enjoyed inside the ANA Lounge.

Aircraft for Today’s Event

After leaving the lounge, I headed toward the aircraft parked on the apron.

Boarding Information Display

This is the departure board for today’s in-flight dining event. The flight is set as a “Frankfurt-bound” service.

Just Before Boarding

The aircraft used for this dining event was the Boeing 777-300ER. This was taken just before boarding.

Welcome Message

These handmade welcome cards were placed at the entrance of the jet bridge. Even during the pandemic, you can feel the heartfelt hospitality of the staff.

A Steiff teddy bear dressed in an ANA uniform was also there to greet guests.

First Class Seat

This is the First Class seat where I was seated.

The light-blue bag visible in the back is the amenity kit.

These are the various features located on the side of the seat.

Pressing the areas marked “PUSH” on either the wood-grain panel or the black panel opens the compartments.

When I pressed the “PUSH” button on the black panel, a large mirror appeared.

Welcome Service

Welcome Drink

Here I am toasting with kabosu juice, served as the welcome drink.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions at the time, serving alcohol at night was prohibited in Tokyo, so alcoholic drinks were not available for this event.

Side Table

I placed the glass on the side table, which swivels out for convenience.

Mouthwash

Mouthwash provided inside the lavatory.

Business Class Seat

I took a short walk over to the business class cabin as well.　This is the seat at the very front row of business class.

The space by the window is the seat itself.
The white compartment next to it is a wardrobe for storing clothes.

When the seat is fully reclined into a bed, you can stretch your legs into the space on the left side of the wardrobe.

Food Menu

This is the menu card for the day. I chose the Japanese meal.

Drink Menu (1)

Here is the drink menu. At that time, alcohol service was not permitted, so unfortunately I could only look at it.

Drink Menu (2)

(Top) Beer, whisky, cocktails, etc.
 Unfortunately, not available this time!
 Oh, but there is non-alcoholic beer.

(Non-alcoholic drinks / Specialty coffee)
I’ll enjoy something from this selection instead!

Non-Alcoholic Beer

I had a non-alcoholic beer as an “aperitif.”

Amuse-Bouche

These amuse-bouches were served along with the “aperitif.”

The matcha almond pie sticks were incredibly delicious.
The white shrimp—one of Toyama’s specialties—had an elegant sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Table Setting

After finishing the amuse-bouches, a white tablecloth was laid out for the meal.

Appetizers

These are the Japanese appetizers—dishes full of spring flavors.

I had tomato juice with this course.

After the appetizers, the soup course was served.
