Shirube traces its roots to a 1978 Tokyo izakaya founded by Takashi Uno, credited as a pioneering figure in modern izakaya culture, and now carries that legacy to Santa Monica under his sons. The menu features a dedicated sake list alongside shareable Japanese small plates, sashimi, and cocktails in a lively, sociable setting. The Santa Monica outpost keeps the original's emphasis on communal drinking and eating late into the night.
