Following my trip from Chicago/O'Hare to Tokyo/Narita on Japan Airlines JL 009 (Trip Report link here), I immediately went to the JAL Business "Sakura" Lounge in Terminal 2. I was originally thinking of leaving the airport for a little bit and maybe catch a train to Tokyo and back, but I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I was upgraded to business.
시카고/오헤어-도쿄/나리타 구간을 JL 009 과 함께 한뒤 (탑승기 링크) 저는 바로 일본항공의 "사쿠라" 비즈니스 라운지로 향했습니다. 바로 다음 구간 (JL 959 도쿄/나리타-서울/인천)이 비즈니스로 업그레이드 됬거든요. 도쿄 시내도 잠시 갔다올까 생각했는데 시간도 촉박하고 그냥 업그레이드 된김에 라운지도 써볼겸 왔습니다.

The Sakura Lounge Entrance at Terminal 2 Concourse
I had the Japanese udon, triangular sushi, salmon roe and shrimp right away (along with Pocari Sweat). There were abundance of food in the lounge..
The lounge was quiet and I liked the fact that I could plane spot from here.

Abundance of sakes and wines.
Coffee and other hard liquors
The Beer Dispenser which served Asahi and Sapporo
Soft drinks/coffee/tea machine
My connecting flight to Seoul/Incheon was at Gate 91.
That's my plane! A badass B747-300 in her last days of glory.
From my seat, 9K
It was a pretty cool experience to seat at the nose section of B747! It was indeed my first time on business and my first time ever seating so up front of this beautiful giant.
Take-off
The sun was setting fast. It was local time 19:00. The plane must have taken about an hour to taxi to runway.
Personal TV system of the plane.
Let's see what the meal looks like on Korea-bound Japan Airlines business class!
Very nicely presented, and the pink paper that was wrapping the box had descriptions of each and every food items on this tray. Unfortunately, I did not take picture of the paper. The meal was one of the most interesting meal I have ever had on a plane. Each food item had its own unique taste and wakened my taste buds. Overall, 10/10!
I felt very tired after the meal so I passed out until the plane landed into Seoul/Incheon.
