Subjective opinion of warm rice aside, I would be inclined to agree Sushi Noz is among the best in NYC. I would certainly not rate it among the best in Tokyo.
Fair enough - I’ve never managed to get into any of the top places in Tokyo, just reporting what I was told by fellow patrons.
Probably the best I’ve had in Tokyo is Sushi Iwa, which I totally understand doesn’t rate among the city’s elite. I’ve had much better luck booking kaiseki, tempura, and French restaurants over there.
