After all, Japan Airlines will not be able to serve as the
Business class.
Japan Airlines had produced several signature service as sky
sleeper on 1980s, Sushi bar on board on 1970s to 1980s. After the merge with
Japan Air System on 2002 and bankruptcy on 2010, the quality of service or
safety had dropped down to the bottom. These days, the safety were recovering.
The flight from Tokyo to Manila was the worst experience in
my flight records. The return flight was also Japan Airlines operation B767 service
with Sky Suite 767 seats.
Seat overview of Sky Suite 767
The lounge was very old and small for the frequent flyers and
business class passengers. As the strange customs in Japan Airlines, they serve
Japanese style curry and rice at their lounge. The strange smell mixed with
beef, several spices, flower and steamed Japonica rice were filled in the
lounge of course in Japan also overseas.
The Seat of Sky Suite 767 was nice for taking rest. The seat
width was very narrow for sleep. If you have taken seat in middle lane 2seat ablest
can luckily use the two seats by yourself, one seat will be used for the rest
and the other can be for the upright position as Lufthansa First class on
Boeing 747-400.
The members of cabin crew has multi-ethnic from Japan and
Thailand. The Thai cabin crews kept fixity of their face with frightened
shadow. They have never shown their own hospitality, bound under the Japan
Airlines Manual conversation rule-book.
The meal was very unfortunate Japanese food. All products
from the overseas catering factory were generally very disappointing Japanese
food meals. The Shinjo Age (fried fish paste with yam) was sandy texture and
less Dashi soup stock taste. All meals were textureless and out of focus in the
Japanese food.
Sandy Sinjo
Tasteless entre.
Very sweet cake, the cabin crews called as Opera, it will not called Opera taste in Japan.
The quality of service in Japan is under degradation in this
twenty years. The Japan Airlines have not be able to keep the Japanese traditional
service on boards.

Sushi Bar in the Airline lounge
The terminal 2 of the Narita international airport is the desert for eating. You will find several coffee shops or bars but there is nothing to eat except airline lounge in transit or departure area after the seculity control and immigration. If you want to taste Sushi or Tempura on your transit at Narita, you should be admitted to Japan. I like to hear about entering the country just to eat Sushi or other foods, but that is very inconvinient for the travellar.
For the holders of oneworld Emerald status, there is an oasis in the JAL first class lounge in the Main building. They provided the Sushi bar in the First class lounge on the third floor.
On the Sushi bar, they will serve Maguro(tuna), Ebi(shrimp) and Tamago(egg, Japanese omlett). The variation is very poor but you will be entertained the chef's technique at the counter.
This service must be homage for the on-board Sushi bar or Sushi service in the JAL first class.
I don't know for certain whether there used to be some Sushi bar in the restriction area.

Short haul Japan Airlines Business class (JAL Sky Suite 767) from Tokyo to Manila
The worst business class services on the aeroplane in developed countries
The Japan airlines had proud of the long history and nice quality of the Japanese style service. On this visiting to Manila, I must choose Japan airline. The aircraft was the Boeing 767-300ER which was the common aircraft for the short to middle haul international flights from Japan as Manila, Saigon, Hanoi, Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong.
The business class seat was the new Sky Suite 767 style which was the renovated products from Japan Airline. The Sky Suite 767 seat will be fully flatted bed but the seat has too narrow space to take a nap on these seats. The length of the seat will be fit for the foreigners but the narrow seat will be difficult to be relaxed. The relax position is Okay.

The meal service will start with the drink service as the other airlines. There were some selection of wines, liquors and soft drinks but nothing was special. The snack which was served with the first drink service was Dry Natto and some rice chips. The Natto will be familiar to Japanese passengers thus the foreigners may not like smell and texture of Natto.
The meal service had nothing special. I chose the Japanese style menu from the lists. The portion was normal as the other airline company. All meals were placed on one tray in the JAL short haul like Manila. The meal level of this short haul was as the economy class meal service which was served on Narita-Paris JAL flight twenty years ago. The main course was a little bit less warmed because all courses were served on the same tray.
the whole view
Grilled Halibut with Yuzu miso flavour and Grilled chicken with miso sauce
Syokado box (for the Entre)
After dinner, I had some cognac from the list. The inflight service manager had brought a glass of cognac and told me in Japanese, "If we had some chocolate for you sir, (we will serve some piece of lovely chocolate)."
The cabin announce was too frequent to interupt the movie several times. Each announce was very long and superficial. The cabin crews had not pay attention for the passengers comforts.
All things were aimed at the average marks in the service for Japanese. All cabin crew have not been able to speak frequent English and had no ability to entertain and serve for the passengers. They had never served and just ridden the aircraft with passengers to place the drinks and meals, also in business class. I have not been able to find the Japanese Omotenashi service.
