KosherJapanese restaurant? I wasn’t expecting much, but this place really surprised me: the ramen was out of this world and all the appetizers were delicious. Good service also. Make a reservation.
“Shalom Japan...sounds almost like the punch line to a joke—but the married couple Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochi…are far from kidding around. At its best, their food is fusion in the truest sense.” \nПодробнее
The matzo ball ramen is very unique, but the okonomiyaki, teriyakiduck, and the challah (ahem the butter) are the winners here. Knishes are good but not in the same realm as the above.
Creative and surprisingly restrained Jewish-Japanese fusion fare from a chef couple in a sleepy corner of South Williamsburg. Don't miss the challah baked with sake kasu.
This.is.officially.my.favorite.restaurant. And I’m picky as f***. delicious & unique. Service was on point. Highly recommend the “weird” sake flight, ramen, and bread pudding.
Okinomiyaki is pretty good for app and the ramen with matzo is fine, but i dunno if i call it ramen..more like chicken noodle soup with hint of asian? Also a bit pricey vs other ramen spots
One of the coolest restaurants in Williamsburg! The matzohball ramensoup is the perfect blend of Jewish/Japenese cuisines. Everything on the menu is delicious. Omakase menu is $65!
The Bitches say: A. We loved the creativity of this Jewish Japanese cuisine. It’s a unique twist on brunch classics perfect for those breaking out of the monotony of your typical eggs Benny&omelettes. \nПодробнее
Make reservations. The menu changes daily and is displayed on a chalkboard above the bar so sit at the bar for easy ordering. Great and creative food, torotoast and challah bread are amazing.
Highly recommend New Year’s Duck, Scallops, Grilled Chrysanthemum Greens & Kale. You're fine skipping the Lox Bowl. By far the best feature of this place is the Hitachino Nest White Aleon tap
The lox bowl was my favorite! It was well put together. The duck was tasty, too. I also tried the tunacream cheese toast. It was good, but they're really small though. The asparagus was alright.
With no idea what to expect from a Jewish- Japanese fusion restaurant I was pleasantly surprised & blown away by how creative and delicious everything was - chefstasting menu is the only way to go!
Matzoh ball ramen and wagyu beef tartar were excellent, but the real winner was the challahchocolate banana bread pudding. I would have taken a picture, but I ate it too quickly.
Wagyugrilled steak, pastrami-stuffed chicken, and aburaage raclette pouches. Um... I know, right? Best restaurant I've been to so far in Brooklyn. Huge selection of drinks as well.
Tasting Table: "Jewish deli meets Japanese small plates at this Williamsburg spot...To eat, there's sakechallah and pastrami-filled chicken, and to drink, Eastern European wines and sake"
Incredible food and drinks. You don't expect it to be as good as it is. Get the pancake dish, the lox bowl and the torotoast. All excellent. Can't go wrong.
Chefs Sawako Okochi and Aaron Israel, both veterans of top NYC restaurants, wanted to explore their roots, but in merging these two divergent cuisines, they advanced something utterly unique. \nПодробнее
Teriyakiduck wings , latkas w salmon row creme fraiche and scallions , challahchocolate banana bread pudding - a lot of interesting food combos can't wait to go back!
The challah is good but the smoked torotoast and the Okonomiyaki are unmissable. The bar is really well stocked, and the Sixty-Forty a potable highlight
The menu is a playful and seasonal approach to New American cuisine, highlighting the chefs’ connections to their respective Jewish and Japanese roots.
