China Airlines has partnered with Taipei’s " Toutouan," the only overseas-certified branch of Tokyo’s renowned restaurant " Toutouan," to bring Japanese cuisine with a natural flair to the skies. Passengers can enjoy an elegant Japanese dining experience while in flight.
Located in Akiruno City, Tokyo, Toutouan is a prestigious kaiseki restaurant that has been passed down through three generations. As a sister establishment to the renowned Kurochaya, which boasts over 50 years of history, Toutouan breathes new life into a historic residence that has been preserved and handed down for seventeen generations since the Edo period, transforming it into a refined dining venue and art gallery.
Nestled in the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, Toutouan offers a serene and elegant environment that attracts numerous guests by allowing them to experience the ambiance of nature.
Every journey holds its own unique beauty, and when magnificent natural landscapes—such as mountains, rivers, forests, and coastlines—merge with human-made structures, monuments, or temples, they create a distinct allure that leaves a deep, special impression on viewers. By enjoying this blend of nature and culture in the sky, passengers can look forward to an even more memorable journey.
Passengers traveling in China Airlines’ premium business and business class on major routes to Japan can savor a specially curated menu by Toutouan Taipei’s Japanese executive chef, Araki Hironaka. This menu celebrates the connection between nature and urban life, capturing the beauty and emotions of the changing seasons through the art of cuisine.
