Shalom Japan

Tips

• Shalom Japan...sounds almost like the punch line to a jokebut the married couple Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochiare far from kidding around. At its best, their food is fusion in the truest sense.

• 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.

• Be sure to use the bathroom while you're here...it'll change your life, the back and the front of it. And, the Cornbread Pudding is divine.

• Challah, tuna tataki w/ black tahini, Jew Egg, Duck, Udon. Share all.

• Go here for a splurge-style din. Rotating menu, but if they have them, challah, okonomiyaki, duck, and lox bowl are all worth ordering to share.

• The lox bowl is everything!!

• 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 - chefs tasting menu is the only way to go!

• Tasting Table: "Jewish deli meets Japanese small plates at this Williamsburg spot...To eat, there's sake challah and pastrami-filled chicken, and to drink, Eastern European wines and sake"

• Matzoh ball ramen is the best for brunch!

• This was definitely one of the worst places I've been to in Brooklyn. SALTIEST food, this whole Jew/Japanese thing absolutely doesn't work at all. It was borderline awful food. JUST SALT.

• Two words: strange combinations. Some dishes are okay but some take the Jewish-Japanese fusion a little too literally.

• Definitely get the matzo ball ramen and the shana tova duck. And the desserts. And a hitachino (on draft)! And everything else.

• The challah and okonomiyaki were standout, as was the extensive drink menu.

• Highly recommend New Years 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 Ale on tap

• The Bay Scallop Sashimi was even better than I expected - super crisp flavors

• One of the best meals I've had this year. Go all in and order the tasting menu!
