First- and business-class passengers on international All Nippon Airways flights will enjoy a new culinary offering starting June 1. ANA has partnered with Hakata IPPUDO, the famed ramen brasserie from Kyushu, to introduce specially developed ramen dishes as part of the light meal selection in premium cabins.
Hakata IPPUDO is a celebrated name in Japan’s ramen scene and has earned praise worldwide for its refined broths and handcrafted noodles. For ANA’s North America routes, passengers will be served Furusato, a soy-sauce-based ramen that highlights a clear, savory broth and balanced seasoning. For flights to and from Europe, the airline will offer Sora-ton, a rich pork-based ramen featuring a deeper, hearty broth designed to satisfy travelers seeking a comforting, traditional ramen experience at 35,000 feet.
The addition of these ramen choices reflects a growing trend among international carriers to elevate in-flight dining by collaborating with respected regional chefs and restaurants. By working with IPPUDO, ANA provides premium customers an authentic taste of contemporary Japanese cuisine while maintaining the convenience and service expected in first and business class.
Passengers traveling in premium cabins can select these ramen options as part of the light meal menu, making them a convenient choice during overnight and daytime flights alike. Each ramen is prepared with attention to texture and flavor balance so that the noodles, broth and toppings translate well in a cabin environment.
Beyond the ramen itself, the collaboration signals ANA’s ongoing commitment to enhancing passenger experience through curated food partnerships. Premium travelers increasingly expect memorable dining moments, and featuring a respected brand such as Hakata IPPUDO helps the airline meet those expectations without compromising quality or authenticity.
These ramen offerings complement ANA’s existing range of premium dining choices, which often include seasonal Japanese dishes and regionally inspired Western options. By adding Furusato and Sora-ton, ANA gives frequent international flyers a reason to look forward to their next premium-class journey, whether they are traveling for business or leisure.
Passengers interested in trying the new ramen should note that availability is limited to first and business class on eligible international flights beginning June 1. As with other premium meal options, menus can vary by route and flight duration, so travelers who want to be sure the ramen is offered on their specific flight may wish to check with ANA or their booking details prior to departure.
This collaboration between AN A and Hakata IPPUDO is an example of how airlines and restaurants can work together to bring signature culinary experiences into the air, offering passengers a tasteful combination of convenience, comfort, and authentic regional flavor.
