Shirube USA

Founded in 1978 by Takashi Uno, Shirube has solidified its reputation as a renowned izakaya, earning its founder the title of the “Godfather of modern Izakaya” in Japan.
Located in Kyodo, Tokyo, Shirube quickly became a popular establishment, known for its vibrant atmosphere and delectable offerings. Under Takashi’s visionary leadership, Shirube revolutionized the izakaya experience, infusing it with diverse cultural influences and international recipes. Consequently, this traditional drinking spot transformed into a trendy destination for young crowds and individuals seeking not only exceptional food and drinks but also a vibrant social setting.
Currently, the legacy of Shirube has been entrusted to Takashi’s sons, Yudai and Kodai Uno, who continue the family’s tradition of culinary brilliance. Building upon the esteemed reputation of Shirube, the Uno brothers have recently expanded the brand to Santa Monica, opening a brand new location. This new chapter in Shirube’s history brings the essence of Japanese izakaya.
