Japanese sake

ANA offer sake produced by Iwaki Kotobuki Junmai. The beverage was first brewed in the town of Namie, Fukushima Prefecture, which was impacted by the Great Japan Earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Iwaki Kotobuki, which has been a favorite of fishermen since Japan's feudal period, is often used to accompany celebratory occasions. The brewer's storehouse, located on Japan's Pacific Coast, was completely destroyed by the tsunami, but, in a stroke of good fortune, some of the yeast used to brew the brand survived at a research institution owned by the prefectural government. The brewery Suzuki ShuzoTen Izo purchased the Iwaki Kotobuki brand and was able to use the saved yeast to restart production in Yamagata Prefecture from 2012.

Iwaki Kotobuki will be offered on all First and Business Class flights to Europe and the North America from March 2013, as well as Business Class flights to Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta, Delhi and Mumbai.

Wine

ANA will serve Business Class passengers travelling between Tokyo and Europe / North America a range of regional wines jointly developed by ANA, a winery and Ned Goodwin. The range will be on offer from March until the end of August 2013. Goodwin, who holds the prestigious industry qualification of Master of Wine, has produced a special range of wines which reflect the subtle differences in taste and scent passengers experience when flying. The wine was blended and matured by Hecht et Bannier, a leading boutique winery from the southern France.

Passengers can enjoy the Languedoc Red Ned Goodwin MW Selection 2011 Hecht et Bannier, a smooth-bodied red wine offering a delicate balance between crisp acidity and subtle astringency, and the Languedoc White Ned Goodwin MW Selection 2011 Hecht et Bannier, a fresh and fruity white, with notes of citrus contributing to the rich taste.

Japanese green tea

In March 2013, ANA will introduce a new range of delicious Japanese green teas. ANA will be offering a selection of high-quality brands carefully chosen from renowned tea-producing regions across Japan.

First-Class
Gyokuro (Gyokuro-sensui): Gyokuro tea is among the most exquisite of teas, and is made with the first handpicked leaves of the new season. Gyokuro, which is grown in Shizuoka City, produces a relatively light-colored infusion with a complex, refined aroma and deep rich taste.

Roasted green tea (Kaga-houji-cha): This fine tea is produced by gently roasting the first, fresh leaves of the season. Passengers can enjoy the refreshing aroma and delicious flavor of this traditional houji-cha from Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture.

Seasonal tea: (Sosakuwako-cha): This Japanese style flavored tea is a great way to enjoy the taste of green tea accompanied by other flavors, which vary depending on the season. The tea, from Shizuoka City, will be served in three varieties: cherry blossom, summer citrus fruit and apple.

Business Class
Yamecha: This tea is made by special blending and processing the bud tea (kona-cha) produced from the buds of the first green tea harvest in Yame City, Shizuoka Prefecture, before adding powder tea (macha), also from Yame.

Fantastiskt fina gröna teer i deras F. Det är ju nästan så att man blir tvungen att flyga med dem bara för att kunna njuta av dessa utsökta teer. Jag tror att ANA därmed kommer att distansera alla andra flygbolag vad gäller exklusiviteten på deras gröna teer i F.

Jag får väl outa min brist på förfining med att säga att jag gillar den lite mer robusta smaken från genmaicha (gärna macchairi) bättre.

Att man kan få vettig sake att dricka är däremot något att fröjdas över. Dessutom gäller även här att jag normalt gillar "vanlig" junmai bättre än junmai daiginjou eller dylikt, drickat får gärna ha lite mer karaktär. Nu vill jag bara höra att dom ska börja servera awamori också ;)

泡盛(Awamori, brännvin från Okinawa, ca 25% alkoholhalt) serverades på ANA flygningar i 2005.

Awamori serveras också på utvalda Japan Airlines lounger.

Hå hå, där ser man. Jag kan visserligen förstå varför dom inte gör det längre, dom flesta skulle nog anse awamori vara rävgift vid första kontakten. (Men hellre det än vanlig shochu som bara smakar blaskig vodka.)

Sen ska den ju förstås helst drickas fisljummen och bara utspädd med vatten, mitt i sommarvärmen, så att den inneboende ondskan kommer till sin fulla rätt.
