Probably just a deli sandwich for afternoon/night flights like the other short hauls

Airline: NH
Class: J
Route: HND-SYD
Caterer: Peter Unger
Hechsher: Kosher Australia
Flight date: 03/28/19
Meal in pics: Dinner, snack, breakfast

SNACK


DINNER


Meal size

Notes: flight was at 11pm, I'd already had dinner from Chana's place in Tokyo (good website and delivery service) thus didn't want to eat the dinner.  The crew brought all 3 (dinner, snack and breakfast) and asked when i'd want to eat which.  The meal sizes were more like a Y class Hermolis, however the snack was very good. Landed up making a combo of the dinner (fish), snack and breakfast just after shacharit.  (No pic of breakfast, was the usual eggs etc.)

Pretty much identical to mine in BA premium economy flying HND-LHR (except I only received dinner and breakfaast, no snack).

I actually thought it was pretty tasty, if rather small and economy-like.

Snack 9 - certainly better than the J snack on UA from EWR (yes, I like fish)
My best of the pack dinner+breakfast = 8
The mints were very nice too ;-)

Yip, tasty, just smaller than any J I'd ever had.
BA and NH probably may use the same ground handler in HND with the same MEL caterer

This stuff looks nice, but seems rather generous to give an 8/9 remember Borenstein was put in the 5 slot

Snack was better than Regal or Borenstein
Once I mixed and matched from the dinner and breakfast it was an 8 (I like fish)
