Showa Izakaya is a casual drinking establishment (similar to a pub), serving tapas style food that’s meant to be shared among friends. Once inside the point is to have fun. The perfect place to unwind after a hard day’s work while sharing stories and laughing non-stop for hours. Showa offers comfort, plenty of laughter and amazing food. The only Japanese style Izakaya in Koreatown with sister restaurant Musha in Santa Monica
