Beer drinkers will rejoice with different kinds of Japanese beer from the tap
Non alcoholic drinkers also has their choice of coffee and tea
There is also a self service station where passengers have to return their cups and glasses as there are not many staff within the lounge itself to clear dirty glasses
While there are not many options in terms of food, the variety of beverages available is quite amazing especially the alcoholic selection. For the non alcoholic ones, there are also some pretty interesting drinks like the green kelp juice. The snacks provided is also those Japanese prawn crackers and nuts
Overall, the lounge has a very peaceful environment and provides traveller a place for a good rest before their next flight. The lounge is extremely quiet and clean so it is very pleasant to spend time here. There is also a very chic and modern bathroom, small rooms for passengers to use their phones so that they do not disturb other passengers. There is also a small smoking room for smokers since the airport is a non smoking building. It is a nice lounge to spend some time before the flight
