Thanks in advance!
NH only has one configuration for F, though multiple for the other cabins on the 77W. No need to be concerned.

On First Class Square 'window' seats, will I still be able to see out the window more than just the horizon-line? I know that the seat is like a cube, so I know there is no immediate window next to me.

Will I still be able to see something out the window?

You can't really sit and look out the window because the cubicle blocks the view. Also the shades are usually down the whole flight so the other F pax can sleep. Some people will occasionally lean forward and crack the shade for a quick peep.

Any recent passengers able to remember if they're still serving the full course of caviar? On the website, the fall menu shows caviar as part of the first course but it could be that's a garnish. My flight 2 years ago had caviar w/garnishes as its own course.

From what it seems Caviar is only a garnish now and not its own course.

I noticed that too. The caviar service is now imbedded in the first appetizer course.

Regardless of the caviar service, I am still pumped up for the upcoming first class flights.

Another item when departing NRT there is a completely separate enclosed First Class checkin and private security line for First Class /NH diamond passengers. Really nice and quick security to the departure immigration hall.

Problem I find with the Z "Counter" is there's always only 3-4 agents there.

Half would be standing around telling you to sit down, asking what you need, etc. 2 would be at the desks. As usual the other counters are closed.

I like the sit down idea but I honestly feel like usually when standing, there's no line for F?

I thought it was just the ability to go to ANA Arrivals Lounge for the 'Arrival Services'.
