Noz 17 is an elegant and inviting downtown sibling of the Upper East Side original. The seven-seat cypress counter is the focal point of the intimate dining room, where an abundance of wood and gently calibrated lighting create a serene setting. Chef Junichi Matsuzaki demonstrates a precise and disciplined approach. The omakase unfolds with restraint, moving into a refined sequence of nigiri, each piece carefully composed to highlight the quality of the fish and the balance of the rice. Throughout, the focus remains on high-quality product handled with care and balance. Intricately scored cuttlefish that melts in the mouth is among the highlights presented to diners.
