bar sono
A warm bar on Maneki-dori that carries the memory of former occupant 'Kitchen Sono.' A daytime café occupies the space on select days. The old Japanese house character and steep stairs lead to a genuinely cozy hideaway atmosphere praised by those who find it.
Shinjuku Golden Gai is Tokyo's most iconic bar district — 295+ unique bars packed into six narrow alleys in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. A 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit, next to Hanazono Shrine. Featured in the Michelin Green Guide, it has been a cultural institution since the 1950s.
