Kokkome (こっこめ) sits on the second floor of the "Maneki-dori" alley in Shinjuku Golden Gai, dedicated entirely to the islands of Tokyo — Hachijojima, Aogashima, Ogasawara, and beyond. The bar stocks over 40 varieties of Tokyo island shochu, including the rare "Aochuchu" from Aogashima and coveted Hachijo vintages. The standout bar snacks showcase ingredients rarely found on the mainland: kusaya (fermented dried fish) mixed with ashitaba (Hachijo island herb) mayo, and simmered sea turtle from Ogasawara. With around eight counter seats, a 800-yen cover charge, and drinks from 600 yen, it offers an accessible dive into island culture. After the founding owner passed away, a second-generation owner took the helm, committed to keeping the spirit of the bar alive with the existing staff. Certified as an official Tokyo Islands specialty product partner shop, Kokkome is a uniquely warm and deeply characterful spot in the heart of Golden Gai.
