Never been in any kind of Dreamliner so would appreciate your input. Thanks!
NH has two different 789 configurations —
https://www.ana.co.jp/wws/us/e/asw_c....html?c=b787_9 — 246 seats (C in rows 1-11) and 215 seats (C in rows 1-13). The ANA website is right — your flight is scheduled for a 246-seat configuration where 11A is a "true" window (unlike the 215-seat 789 where there is no 11A but 11C instead).
I like window seats in general so I'd stay there, also the C/H seats ("window" seats but really by the aisle) are way less private than the A/K seats because you're exposed to the aisle. Also you can't look out of the window from the C/H seats while seated. If you don't care for a window then maybe an inside E/F seat would work as well if you want to be nearer to the front of the plane (although it's less private since you have the person in the D/G seat "next" to you). However I think being closer to the front doesn't really matter since service begins from the front and back of the C cabin, and the smaller 3-row C cabin would be quieter.
