ANA premium class must be one of the cheapest ways out there to buy a ticket in the nose of a 747...
If you want more legroom and recline, 787 has a better seat in terms of Premium seat of all planes, as they use the Business Cradle like for the intra-asia 763 (those have winglets)

I don't think you can called that as international business class product, as first the meals are not served in china, and drinks are served in paper cups. Second meals are in a bento box, served cold except miso soup. There is also no appetizers (or amuse bouche) or desserts. You only get the Gozen box for flights before 9am, 11:30am-1pm, and after 5pm flights, all other time is the Sabo box which is like a snack box.

Now JL's domestic F class you can possibly call that as international business class product however, but defiantely not NH.
