Opened in 2013 on the Southside of Williamsburg, Shalom Japan highlights married chefs and owners Aaron Israel and Sawako Okochi’s connections to their respective Jewish and Japanese roots, while also drawing inspiration from the vibrancy of Brooklyn. The menu is a collaboration with a unique culinary perspective that celebrates their individual cultures, diverse cooking backgrounds, and passions for food.

Located on a quiet corner, and with a small, intimate and homey feel, the restaurant reflects what happens when two people, from two completely different backgrounds find each other and build a life together centered around the table. Come join us for a meal.
