Sushi Noz
New York, US
From the 200-year-old Hinoki wood and Tamo ash counter seating, to the Edo-era ice box, kimono-wearing staff and near-ceremonial treatment of the menu, Sushi Noz is a slice of Japan on the Upper East Side. With seats for 14 guests, the omakase tasting menu is a paean to Edomae tradition. The treatment of seafood here is dominated by heritage techniques including marinating (in soy, vinegar and salt) and blanching to offer unrivalled flavour. At the helm is Hokkaido-born sushi master chef Nozomu Abe, whose reverence for ocean delights draws heavily on legacy – his grandfather owned a seafood company that set ‘Noz’ on his culinary path. To dine here is to witness true craftsmanship. The engaging menu is fronted by five to six small otsumami plates that champion vegetables and fish, before diving deep into seasonal nigiri over 12-14 plates. Miso soup, vinegar-laced rice and tamago (a rolled omelette) add pace while pitch-perfect presentation is a given.
