This means that the staggered business class seats will be available. With three travelers, any of the window + middle two seats would be fine, in my opinion.
It did state 77W on the random date I chose, but I compared the seat map to one on SeatGuru and it matched up to the 4-class 777-300ER and did not show Business Staggered under the aircraft designation. "ANA Business" was shown when I clicked into the seat map.

Perhaps it differs by date.

If you are indeed lucky enough to get the Business Staggered seating, then armagebedar's suggestion of the window + two center seats would be fine.

Thanks again for your advise^
No problem- hopefully you do indeed get the staggered seating

I cannot be sure as I don't see a seat map on seatguru that matches up your description, but you can take a look at ANA's Flash seating map and see if there is a red X next to the window seat. If there is a red X then there is either no window or the window is misaligned.
