A lively skewer-fry specialist near the entrance to Golden Gai. Over 40 types of kushiage from ¥100–250 each, with house soy-koji fried chicken and miso katsu also popular. Spacious by local standards — a natural first stop for first-timers and tourists.
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.
