Why You’ll Love It

Tsubaki is a Los Angeles izakaya that blends Japanese roots with a California state of mind, created by the talented duo Charles Namba and Courtney Kaplan. Namba honed his culinary skills in New York at EN Japanese Brasserie, Chanterelle, and Macao Trading Company, as well as at Bouchon in Los Angeles. His menu offers a nod to his childhood favorite dishes, designed to be shared and perfectly paired with sake, beer, or wine. Kaplan, fluent in Japanese and with over a decade of sommelier experience at renowned spots like New York's Decibel, EN Japanese Brasserie, and Bestia in Los Angeles, has crafted a beverage program that is truly one of a kind, unmatched anywhere else in the city. Stop by for an experience that will have you coming back for more!
