"A Japanese chef provides service in person"

A long flight can easily grow boring. To make your travel more pleasurable, for once a month from September 1, a veteran Japanese chef started making and offering sushi -- the symbol of freshness -- on board for First Class passengers (Incheon-Los Angeles route). The Japanese chef makes and offers Sushi in person, commemorating the 15th year of our service to Los Angeles, Asiana Airlines’ first trans-Pacific route.

Onboard chef service? Experience it now!

Asiana prepares the best ingredients for the best quality sushi: tuna belly, red tuna, sea breams, scallops, salmon, squid, crab, and shrimp. In particular, tuna belly (odoro) is the most expensive part of the fish -- just 500 ~ 600 grams are found in a 100 ~ 200 kg tuna. The flavor softly melting in the mouth is magnificent. The chef, who creates delicate flavors with the best ingredients, is Mr. Norifumi Fujioka. He served as president of the Narita Region Chef Association and has many years of experience. As a veteran chef who comes from the home of sushi, he confidently brings out the delicate flavor of sushi. In addition, people are much more likely to enjoy sushi while talking with this chef. His manners and witty conversation honed from 45 years of preparation add a more sophisticated flavor to the fish.

Asiana’s original sushi service from an onboard chef combines quality ingredients, the chef's know-how and an appreciation for the special needs of Trans-Pacific passengers. Asiana is confident that the service will be well received by all of our First Class customers.
