Yup, that's why I'm asking if it's the season for octopus and sea urchin and if they're in the current kaiseki. I know I could always just skip those dishes but the last time I ordered the kyo-kaiseki it was apparently cephalopod season and tentacles were everywhere.

I sincerely cannot believe that they still have F on these short haul flights! The menu looks delicious though! Never thought there'd ever be rendang on a plane!
The kyo-kaiseki is offered on all SQ11/12 flights, no need to BTC.
I think the "standard" out of NRT seems to be better, but the one out of Singapore is not bad too. You can actually request for a mix. For eg, I like to ask to start with the caviar from the International menu, then move on to the Kaiseki for the starter and main course and then switch back to dessert from the International menu. But this is always subject to availability and I always request this nicely from the stewardess and ask that she does so only if there's extra available.
The F meal is the same whether its SQ11/12 or the 380 suite. The meal or wine (or the entertainment) is definitely not a "class beyond first".
