We’ve got a beautiful 🐟 fish 🍜 special. It’s a dashi based broth made with , known as Japanese sea bream, a homemade scallop kamaboko 🍥 (fish cake) and some sorrel to top it all off with a lemony spring green. Jewish people traditionally use sorrel for green borscht or schav. The nice acidity makes it delicious in fish ramen too! Only for a limited time!

Passover is always one of our favorite holidays of the year. Our homemade matzoh is 🔥 and we have a bunch of other holiday specials! We’ll be serving up our smoked caraway lamb ribs with red pepper bbq glaze and Japanese potato salad. Flourless chocolate cake with cherry blossom 🌸 ice cream and of course our gefilte takoyaki! If you think gefilte fish is just something from your great aunts cupboard that’s been sitting there the past ten years in a jar, then you should come try ours! We’ll be serving up these holiday specials all next week so come say hi! 👋

We were so honored to host Dr. Howard Israel present his brand new book this week. It was so incredible to listen to him speak about his findings on his favorite anatomy book he used before surgeries. It was a stunning moment for him and turned him to start his long journey to research how the anatomy book came out.
We hope you will pick up a copy and read about his journey.

What people say
Japanese restaurants are known for their exquisite cuisine and unique flavors. Shalom Japan, located on S 4th Street in New York, takes this to a whole new level with their authentically inauthentic Jewish and Japanese food. The restaurant is a collaboration between Chefs Sawako Okochi and Aaron Israel, who have created a menu that combines the best of both worlds.
One of the standout dishes at Shalom Japan is their gefilte takoyaki, which perfectly blends Jewish and Japanese flavors. The homemade matzoh is also a must-try, especially during Passover season. But it's not just about the fusion dishes - the traditional Japanese dishes are equally impressive. The oodles of noodles dish is a crowd favorite, while the sushi rolls are always fresh and delicious.
The restaurant itself has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff who are happy to make recommendations from the menu. And if you're lucky enough to visit during brunch or dinner with your mother, you'll be treated to a special experience that you won't forget.
Shalom Japan also offers a cookbook called Love Japan, which features some of their most popular recipes. And if you're looking for something extra special, keep an eye out for events like book signings or bathroom makeovers (yes, really!).
Overall, Shalom Japan is a unique and exciting addition to the New York dining scene. Whether you're in the mood for traditional Japanese cuisine or something more adventurous, this restaurant has something for everyone.
