From November 2005 onwards, Singapore Airlines customers travelling on Raffles (Business) Class on selected flights between Singapore and Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka, and between Tokyo and Los Angeles, can savour the delectable Hanagoyomi - an exclusively designed Japanese meal inspired by the nuances of the four seasons.

Hanagoyomi comprises an elaborate spread of nine appetisers and entr�es elegantly presented and served in traditional Japanese style.

The spread includes cold dishes such as Kuchitori (vegetable appetisers), Aemono (tossed salad) and a variety of dishes such as Yakimono (grilled dish) and Takiawase (simmered dish), complemented by rice, miso soup and cold soba noodles.

"Hanagoyomi reflects the richness and diversity of the Japanese culinary heritage. Each Hanagoyomi dish is carefully designed to accentuate the unique flavours that each season brings - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. With this special creation, our passengers are treated to the quintessential Singapore Airlines fine dining experience," said Mr Yap Kim Wah, Singapore Airlines' Senior Vice-President of Product and Services.

Hanagoyomi is masterfully created by Chef Yoshihiro Murata of the Singapore Airlines International Culinary Panel. Chef Murata is renowned for incorporating European influences into traditional Japanese cuisine, without compromising on its authenticity. His restaurant, Kikunoi, in Kyoto is recognised as one of Japan's most prestigious Ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant). As a founder of the prestigious Japanese Culinary Academy, Chef Murata plays a significant role in furthering the development of Japanese cuisine on Singapore Airlines.
