JAL business mini cabin on SS3

Hi everyone - I am going to take a Sky Suite 772 flight.
I have a choice between row 4 middle seat or row 8 (mini cabin) window seat. While I prefer a window seat, I wonder if service in the mini cabin (starting row 8) will be worse (like usually run out of meal choice)?
Thanks for your help!

i personally prefer the mini cabin, window seat and JAL will not run out of meal options if you ask early.
they only have two, the western and japanese meals. f you must really take one option, mention it at check in or boarding and they will keep it for you.

Meal choices are mostly not a problem to get on JAL. Unlike US based airlines it is not SOP to ask for second choice initially. As it mainly adds up. I would not worry about service being different.

It would be SSIII on the refurbished 777-200ER by the way.

its binary on jal theres no second choice
just the one u picked and the one you didnt. There was one time they only rationed one between the both of us.
felt slightly grumpy cuz we are both jgc (dont remember if +1 was premier yet or not)

On most routes, it's actually 3. There are 2 options on the Western menu.
