Which handlers or FBOs do you work with at Yakushima?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at the time of service. Simply confirm the handling agent with your order and we coordinate directly, without requiring you to manage that relationship separately.

Can you accommodate Kosher meals for a flight departing Yakushima?

Yes. Kosher catering is available with a confirmed minimum lead time of 24 hours. Please flag this requirement at the point of order so we can arrange sealed, certified packaging through the appropriate supplier.

What aircraft types can be catered at this airport?

The runway at Yakushima suits turboprops and light to mid-size jets. Our packing and portioning is calibrated accordingly — compact galley formats, weight-conscious tray builds and configurations suited to smaller cabin classes. If your operation involves a specific galley layout, share it with us and we will match our delivery precisely.

Is Yakushima private jet catering available around the clock?

Our operations centre is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Because Yakushima requires advance logistics planning, we strongly recommend placing orders as early as possible — our team will confirm feasibility and cut-off times within ten minutes of your enquiry.

Can you incorporate local Yakushima or Kagoshima produce into the menu?

Yes. Kagoshima Prefecture produce — including Kurobuta pork, sea bream and locally grown sweet potato — is integrated into our menus for this route. Availability depends on seasonal supply and lead time, and our culinary team will advise on what is genuinely fresh at the time of your flight.

How quickly will I receive a response after submitting an order or enquiry?

We guarantee a reply within ten minutes, at any hour. A single point of contact manages your order from initial enquiry through to delivery confirmation, so you are never transferred between departments or left waiting for an update.

The chef's menu at KUM

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Yakushima departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenJapan

Cold main

Kagoshima Kurobuta Chashu

Slow-braised black pork belly, glazed with a shoyu and mirin reduction, rested and sliced cold for a refined cabin presentation. Served with pickled daikon and a small pot of yuzu mustard.

To start

Flying Fish Carpaccio

Thinly sliced tobiuo from the Osumi Strait waters, dressed with ponzu, fresh ginger oil and micro shiso. A clean, delicate opening that announces the provenance of the island without overstating it.

Hot main

Yakushima Sweet Potato Velouté

A smooth, lightly sweetened soup built on the distinctive orange-fleshed sweet potato of the region, finished with a thread of sesame oil and toasted black sesame. Served in a sealed flask, hot.

Pâtisserie

Matcha and White Sesame Financier

A moist, precisely portioned almond cake infused with Kagoshima-region matcha and finished with a white sesame crust. Travel-stable and suited to the compact galley formats common on island-capable aircraft.

Morning

Dashi Tamago with Mountain Vegetable Bento

Soft rolled egg simmered in a light dashi, accompanied by braised Yakushima mountain vegetables, steamed short-grain rice and umeboshi. A grounding morning option that suits early departures from the island.

To finish

Yuzu Posset with Candied Citrus Peel

A set cream scented with pressed yuzu juice, accompanied by a curl of house-candied peel and a single thin almond tuile. Portioned in a sealed glass jar for clean, spill-resistant cabin service.

Inflight Catering · Yakushima

Yakushima private jet catering

Yakushima sits in the waters south of Kyushu, a UNESCO-listed island whose ancient cedar forests, moss-covered trails and clean mountain streams define a landscape unlike anywhere else in the Japanese archipelago. The island draws a particular kind of traveller — one who values the unhurried and the extraordinary — and our catering reflects that sensibility entirely. The surrounding Osumi Strait and the broader Kagoshima Prefecture coastline yield exceptional flying fish, amberjack and sea bream, while Yakushima's interior produces distinctive mountain vegetables and a purity of fresh water that quietly elevates every dish. We source from the closest available markets — including through our regional network anchored at Kagoshima — to ensure that what boards your aircraft is genuinely of this place.

Regional Catering Menu · Yakushima

Inflight catering menu for Yakushima

Kagoshima Prefecture is renowned throughout Japan for Kurobuta pork, the deeply marbled black pig bred in this southernmost corner of Kyushu for centuries. We incorporate it thoughtfully — braised, rested and portioned to galley specification — alongside local sweet potato preparations that carry an unmistakable regional character. Flying fish, a staple of these island waters, arrives as either a delicate carpaccio or a lightly cured component in a cold-tray build. For passengers who prefer a more continental direction, our culinary team constructs cold mains and pâtisserie selections using produce routed through Kagoshima before onward transfer, keeping provenance traceable and freshness intact. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a confirmed 24-hour lead time. All orders carry a single point of contact and a reply guarantee of under ten minutes, around the clock.
