Just got off my Haneda to Copenhagen flight. Pretty light load, there was 11 people on the flight in total. I was seated in 1A. There were 3 passengers in J.
The seat is fine, the screen is on the small side, and the selection of inflight entertainment abysmal.
The crew was very proactive throughout, they did not use the empty flight to just disappear and do nothing. Since I was awake and watching movies they came by ever so often to check if they could bring me something. The tone was fairly Scandinavian casual, but engaging and talkative. Very pleasant service from the three crew members covering J at various points.
The food was good. I have had better on planes. But I have certainly also had far worse (hello US3 looking in your direction). Three hot choices for both meals. I had the vegetarian pasta for the first meal and a pork tenderloin for the second meal. The one complaint would be that cheese and dessert was cut in favour of a box of chocolates. Excellent chocolates but still. The Gosset champagne is an excellent option.
FIrst meal
Second meal
Based on this flight, I'd be happy to fly SK J again.

The vegetarian pasta looks dreadful. The most appealing item in your pictures is the bowl of fruit but it has enough fruit in it to leave a toddler hungry.

Based on your description and pictures I can't relate to this statement. At least Delta consistently serves me better food and drinks than SK in portion sizes that are meant to fill an adult.

I only had sparkling water, Gosset Grand Brut and coffee. I what better champagne Delta is serving these days? American and United certainly can't be compared. Delta a few years back served Charles Heidsieck which was decent, but the latest Canard Duchene is certainly nowhere near the CH from earlier, nor the SK choice of Gosset.

I am a water person while traveling, so I don't really have my focus on the quality and consistency of the alcoholic beverages on offer. So there's my more sober assessment.

Which reminds me of a late night ATL-CDG on Delta in 2018... during boarding a well aged FA was walking thru the aisles offering everyone 'champagne' as pdb and making a big deal to remind everyone that she learnt that when she started flying with Pan Am Some of the french pax made it a point to point out to her that she was holding a bottle of prosecco
Some of the french pax made it a point to point out to her that she was holding a bottle of prosecco If only the United PDB sparkling alcoholic fluid was a prosecco. I am not sure what they serve, but it certainly is borderline "cruel and unusual punishment".

I've had better meals in Delta business class TATL and TPAC than I've ever had with SAS; but I've also had some decent meals with SAS long-haul flights. But as the physical seats get better with SAS long-haul business class, the food hasn't headed in the same direction; and it seems less consistent as well. The food with Delta TATL/TPAC business class has held up better for my tastes, and it's also been more consistent.

Speaking of, the sparkling water came from Copenhagen and had overnighted with the plane.

As long as it's not plane tank water, something in a glass bottle -- maybe Voss in a glass bottle to keep it in the Scandinavian family.
Tap water quenches my thirst in SAS business class, if I bring my own; but I do drink from those plastic bottles of Carte d'Or or Aquafina or whatever SAS puts in economy class as part of its limiting free drinks in long-haul economy class.

Some of the french pax made it a point to point out to her that she was holding a bottle of prosecco If serving Russia, French sparkling wine from Champagne is not to be called champagne/champanskoye and must instead be called sparkling wine.
Is SK 7011 gone for good? [Presuming that was the Moscow-ARN flight number before it became OSD's.] SAS business class on that must have been pretty poor right before that Moscow service stopped.

I'm not very invested in the Champagne on offer either, I'll enjoy a glass but will opt for cocktails and liquor which are all vastly superior on US3 unless you appreciate Norwegian Gin or Swedish Whisky I guess.
