It's always hard to find a decent food at the airport.
So I usually pack some onigiri, rice balls and some leftover food in a lunch box for a flight.
But when you are traveling and cannot cook, you may have to compromise, get some take out foods or grab a quick bite at the airport, ends up choosing "least worst" foods.
In Japan, however, things are a bit different.
At Haneda airport in Tokyo, you can have this beautiful (literally!) lunch at a Japanese restaurant.
And not just healthy and delicious, but also meticulously presented!
And this is what I really like about Japan.
They take food very seriously, and even airport food is not exempted.
Mind you, there are Mac and KFC and Pizza hut and Starbucks and all that, too.
But at least you have better choices. For your taste and eyes.
On the way back from my hometown, Fukuoka, I had quick meal with my mom at the airport, and had a dinner plate , which consisted of fish, several small vegetable dishes, along with a bowl of rice and miso soup!
Pretty satisfactory.
