Nozume Abe is another new arrival in New York, offering Edo mae style high end sushi.
Sushi Noz is a stunningly beautiful 8 seat restaurant. There is nothing which has not been thought about it a lot with a great attention to details. The counter is made out of Hinoki Cypress from central Japan. They give you even a little pad for your telephone so you would not scratch the surface of the counter.
The relatively short Otsumami consisted of five plates which were all executed a a very high level, Kinki and Kaki being my favourites.
This was followed by 13 nigiris, soup and tamago.
The shari had enough acidity and the neta was aged to the right amount. For me the kohada and awabi were my favourites.
Overall a really interesting addition to the NYC sushi dining scene, even though that I think Amane still holds an edge.
