Business Class Inflight Meal@JAL ★★

Nice Presentation. Style was similar as last year. Tried a variety of a la carte snacks. Sake was offered and is a must-try. Tenbu Junmai Daiginjo was nice. JAL Original Noodles was not available, but I recall trying it last year and not liking the texture of the ramen. They had Cup Noodles available, which was fun with the airplane graphic on the fish cake. It was nice to order Fresh Fruits & Green Tea a la carte to end the flight. I also like JAL's Economy Class Meals.

Happiness Sushi by Ko-chan@Yama Seafood West LA ★★★

Sushi Master Class by Ko-chan. With only 6 spots, held once a month, and only for $15 per person, these tickets are harder to get than Taylor Swift tickets. After trying for a few months, I finally got my spot for the very first time. Ko-chan is very fun & animated. He teaches with passion. Scott, one of the partners, explained the steps for us. They even had giveaways for trivia. Sushi-making is a rather complicated process with many steps. I am not sure if I can remember all, maybe 60% of it. They provide you with wet towel wipes and gloves. We also learned how to mix the shari (sushi rice). Ko-chan did a demo of sashimi-cutting. The 1-hour-class was definitely fun. Highly recommended. Hope I can take it again someday.
