The idea behind the Seaweed Ben is that JAL wants to create an hiking atmosphere. When the Japanese go hiking, they will pack a bento box and enjoy their bento with the beautiful scenery. Similarly, you can enjoy the bento box while starring at the sky LOL (which could be quick dark for those red-eye flights :o). Also, through the Seaweed Ben, JAL hope to promote the Japanese culinary culture to the foreign passengers as well.
The Seaweed Ben will feature top-rated seaweed from the Mikawa, Aichi, komachi rice from the Akita prefecture, bonito flakes from the Makurazaki, Kagoshima, and home-style Japanese omelet. Unfortunately the Seaweed Ben is only available in Economy and Premium Economy class. It will be served before arrival. The menu will change once in December during the promotion period. The menus will be as follow:
September 1 2012 - November 30 2012 menu will feature a grilled salmon, whitebait and chikuwa (fish meat paste)
