‘Tastes of JAPAN’ by ANA
Featuring Fukui, Yamanashi and Kagoshima Prefectures 
|
|
TOKYO, May 11, 2016 - In September 2013, ANA Group launched its 'Tastes of JAPAN’ campaign. This project, which introduces regional beverages and cuisine to ANA flights, airport lounges and other services, is designed to raise the profile of Japan’s lesser-known prefectures, particularly to overseas customers, and drive tourism to Japan. The project is also intended to stimulate local economies, in part by boosting consumption of regional agricultural products.
The twelfth phase of the project will introduce ANA customers to products from Fukui, Yamanashi and Kagoshima prefectures between June and August 2016. This will include: |

Fukui
“Dining h” restaurant inside the ANA SUITE LOUNGE at Haneda Airport proudly presents red sea bream from Fukui Prefecture, grilled in white miso and partnered with tasty summer vegetables deep-fried and boiled in July. This gourmet masterpiece features natural catches from the waters off Fukui basted in white soy sauce and regular and sweet sake while grilling, then topped with paper-thin kelp shavings. Served in First Class is small sea bream pickled with bamboo leaves.
This fresh fish from the Japan Sea is cut into three slices, lightly salted and pickled in brewed vinegar. |

Yamanashi

Enjoy this tender cut in a fondue sauce of white wine produced in Yamanashi. Served at the ANA SUITE LOUNGE at Haneda and Narita Airports is a plum éclair prepared with jam using only plums grown in Minami-Alps City.

Kagoshima
Served in Business Class is “Local Cuisine Kagoshima”. The main dish of Berkshire pork is stewed in black vinegar for a salty-sweet flavor, the meat so tender that it falls apart at the touch of a fork. For sashimi, rich and fatty bonito is wrapped in straw and lightly grilled for dipping in sour orange-based sauce and plum-flavored grated white radish. At “DINING h” restaurant inside ANA SUITE LOUNGE at Haneda Airport, July features Japanese black roast beef from Kagoshima Prefecture, served with Tsushima district salt and a special Japanese-style sauce. |
