Japan Air Lines says “cheese”

Cheese might not be something that one associates with Japanese cuisine but the country of the rising sun has many established dairy farms throughout the country, notably in Hokkaido with its cool climate and vast farmlands, and also where the early history of cheese-making in Japan began some 140 years ago.  As this initially-European culinary culture gradually began to find its place among the Japanese people, production of cheese in the country also started taking root, mainly with pasteurized milk used to create mild-flavoured cheese.  Today, to satisfy a more diverse palate for all kinds of cheese, Japan produces a wide variety of world-class quality.

With this in mind from 1 March Japan Air Lines is inviting customers travelling in First and Executive Class to discover the uniqueness of Japanese cheese and through it, also the richness of Japanese culture.

An assortment of 16 types of cheese has been chosen for months up to August – offering five types in First Class and three in Executive, with a change in selection at the end of May. www.uk.jal.com/ukl/en
