Stories from Behind the Counter.
Welcome to Shirube After Hours.
I’m Kodai Uno, chef and owner of Shirube Tokyo Izakaya in Santa Monica.
I was born and raised in my father’s izakaya in Tokyo.
Here, I share stories from my life behind the counter — the people I’ve met, the lessons I’ve learned, and the experiences that shaped what izakaya means to me.
For me, izakaya is more than food.
It’s people, culture, and a feeling.
So pull up a seat, pour yourself a drink,
and let’s begin.
