Shalom Japan
Matzah Ball Ramen, As Seen on "Shark Tank"
Since its founding in Brooklyn’s trendy WIlliamsburg neighborhood in 2013, the small & homey Shalom Japan has shown what happens when two chefs from two unique cultures find each other and build a life together, centered around the table. The husband-and-wife duo of Sawako Okochi and Aaron Israel have infused their respective Japanese and Jewish cultures into the unique menu, which celebrates their individual cultures, diverse cooking backgrounds, and passions for food.
This unique fusion is best demonstrated by their signature dish: Matzoh Ball Ramen. It starts with classic rich & comforting matzoh ball soup, but it’s kicked up with savory kombu, spicy togarashi, ramen noodles, and optional spicy sauce. It’s the perfect comfort food mashup, and it’s shipping nationwide!
