HUJI Japan Club

Fri, 01 May 2026 12:00:00 +0300

Azia 19

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0300

Azia 19 is a kosher Japanese restaurant nestled on Aza Street in the heart of Rehavia, one of Jerusalem’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Opened by Bar Yedid, a second-generation Jerusalem restaurateur, the restaurant brings an izakaya-inspired dining experience to a city that has long lacked high-end Asian options.

Asian Restaurants in Jerusalem: The Complete 2026 Guide

Fri, 29 May 2026 14:00:00 +0300

Jerusalem is unlike anywhere else in Israel for Asian food. The city’s large religious population means that kashrut matters here in a way it simply doesn’t in Tel Aviv — a large share of diners will only eat at certified kosher establishments, and restaurants know it. The result is an Asian dining scene shaped as much by religious law as by culinary ambition: sushi bars and pan-Asian kitchens that operate under full rabbinical supervision, curry houses that are naturally aligned with kosher principles, and a handful of non-certified spots serving the secular and tourist crowds.

Asian Supermarkets & Grocery Stores in Israel, City by City (2026)

Thu, 14 May 2026 12:00:00 +0300

If you cook Asian food at home in Israel, you already know the problem. The recipe calls for gochujang, fresh kaffir lime leaves, the right kind of rice paper, a specific noodle, or a spice blend that the regular supermarket has simply never heard of. For the Asian community here — Filipino, Thai, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese households — stocking a kitchen the way you would back home is a genuine, week-to-week challenge, and for Israeli home cooks chasing a dish they ate while travelling, it is the difference between a real version and an approximation.

The Best Korean Restaurants in Israel (2026)

Thu, 14 May 2026 12:00:00 +0300

Korean food has arrived in Israel on the back of a wave it didn’t create alone. K-dramas, K-pop and a decade of Korean cooking videos online have made bibimbap, bulgogi and gochujang familiar words to a generation of Israeli diners — and the restaurant scene, while still small, has finally started to catch up. It is nothing like the density of Israel’s Japanese or Thai scenes. But what exists is real: Korean-run kitchens, a dedicated dessert café, a Korean grocery, and chefs teaching the cuisine hands-on.

Japanese-Mexican Night at AZIA 19, Jerusalem (Wed 20 May 2026)

Wed, 13 May 2026 22:00:00 +0300

AZIA 19 — the kosher Japanese izakaya on Aza Street in Jerusalem’s Rehavia neighbourhood — is hosting a one-night Japanese-Mexican crossover on Wednesday, 20 May 2026.

The teaser poster shows kushiyaki-style skewers tucked into tacos with pickled red onion, herbs and a wedge of lime. The chef’s note on Instagram describes it simply: “food you eat with your hands, casual atmosphere.”

East-West Cultural Center (EWCC)

The school
#

East-West Cultural Center (EWCC / המרכז התרבותי מזרח-מערב) is a dedicated Chinese language school based in central Jerusalem at HaRav Agan 10. The school’s stated mission is to teach Chinese in cultural context — the idea being that language is an expression of a culture, so grammar drills alone won’t get a student very far. Classes are small, taught by a team of native Chinese-speaking teachers, and delivered primarily online via Zoom (in the evenings) with in-person options from the Jerusalem base.
