Help Shige Re-open Shibucho Sushi restaurant

*5/5/22update: now you can venmo
Shigeru Kudo @shibucho 

If you’re reading this, Shige did not come to you because he’s too proud to ask for your help. Instead, I am setting this up. We are fans of his sushi. Due to the Covid pandemic, Shige fell behind on his rent and cannot reopen.

if you miss eating his sushi, please consider chipping in. So far, Shige has applied to SB grant, SSS loans, and Even UNEMPLOYMENT. He has not been successful to gain a penny. So that’s why I’m asking you, a fellow fan because this is our chance to show him our appreciation for good food. 

All funds collected will go towards efforts to reopen this great East LA establishment. LAWeekly calls Shige “a Legendary shokunin.” 


Thank you for donating. If you know a patron that has eaten here in the past, please notify them of this page and that will help us get the word out!
