カボシャール
A bar in Golden Gai's 3rd Street whose name means 'stubborn' in French. Rust-red interiors, candlelight, and Jack Daniel's create a fittingly moody atmosphere. Rotating daily staff, often female. Open 8pm–3am.
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.
