Edomae Sushi
Sushi Noz
Chef Nozomu Abe's vision for Sushi Noz was inspired by childhood memories of his grandfather's seafood company in Hokkaido, aiming to transport diners to an ancient Kyoto temple. The space, designed in the Sukiya-style of architecture, features a 200-year-old Hinoki wood sushi bar and cedar woods joined without nails, creating an intimate Japanese refuge. Regulars know to book a seat at the Hinoki Counter with Chef Noz himself for the full, personal experience.
★ The Legend
Omakase Nigiri Progression
The nigiri at Sushi Noz is the heart of the Edomae experience, featuring impeccably sourced seafood flown in from Japan and prepared with traditional techniques like marinating and blanching to enhance flavor. Each piece is a jewel-like presentation, with perfectly seasoned rice that complements the fish without overpowering it, showcasing the chef's meticulous craftsmanship.
◆ Fan Favorite
Uni (Sea Urchin)
Chef Noz's uni is consistently lauded as some of the best, if not the best, diners have ever had, often appearing in multiple courses throughout the omakase. Its exceptional quality and creamy texture are a direct result of his Hokkaido upbringing and deep connection to seafood sourcing.
● Chef's Pick
Anago (Saltwater Eel)
This dish is a signature of Chef Noz, smoked over bamboo leaves and finished with a house-made tsume sauce, a testament to his mastery of traditional Edomae preservation techniques. It's a dish that highlights the subtle use of aging and preparation to deepen flavor, a cornerstone of his culinary philosophy.
◇ Hidden Gem
Kinmedai Akadashi Soup
While many focus on the nigiri, this miso soup is far from an afterthought; it's often described as the best miso soup diners have ever had, featuring silky-soft eel 'noodles' and salted egg yolk cream. It's a complex, comforting dish that most first-timers might rush through, but regulars savor as a perfect backdrop to the sushi.
Insider Tip
Don't just book any seat; make sure to reserve a spot at the Hinoki Counter when Chef Nozomu Abe himself is presiding, typically Monday through Friday. While the sous chefs are excellent, dining with Chef Noz brings an unparalleled energy and personal touch to the experience, making an already special meal truly unforgettable.
