Judging from the number of establishments devoted to serving just ramen or sushi, it’s easy to think that’s all Japanese food is. Sitting on the sidelines is traditional Japanese cuisine, such as that served at Momokawa on East 28th Street. Here you find nabes (one-pot dishes) offered alongside kinpira (braised burdock roots and carrots in a soy sauce broth) and homemade sesame tofu.
