    Our visit to Noz 17 was an unforgettable birthday surprise meticulously planned by my wife. From the moment we stepped in, we were transported into a world of culinary artistry that exceeded all expectations. The omakase dinner stands as one of the finest dining experiences we've ever encountered. Chef Matsu San guided us through each course with exceptional knowledge and passion, readily answering our questions and enhancing our appreciation of every dish presented. What makes Noz 17 truly special is its intimate setting—just six seats per service. While this exclusivity might seem limiting, it actually creates an atmosphere of personal connection and attention that larger establishments simply cannot match. For those fortunate enough to secure a reservation, I strongly recommend exploring their whiskey collection. The selection features rare finds that would impress even the most discerning connoisseur. If you find yourself overwhelmed by choices, sommelier Alex offers expert guidance tailored to your preferences. Noz 17 delivers not just a meal, but a complete sensory experience where exceptional food, personalized service, and intimate ambiance combine to create something truly remarkable. This birthday celebration will remain a cherished memory for years to come.
