Shalom Japan (310 S 4th St.) has been serving south Williamsburg a fusion of Jewish and Japanese cuisine for the past nine years. The eatery is owned by husband and wife chefs Sawako Okochi and Aaron Israel.
They have shared their recipe for Okonomiyaki, which is a savory pancake chock full of cabbage, bean sprouts, and onions, drizzled with barbecue-like okonomi sauce, creamy Kewpie mayonnaise, and a sprinkling of smoky bonito flakes.
