小鳥
A small restaurant and izakaya on the 1st floor of G1-dori, run by former Japanese super flyweight boxing champion Yosuke Sato. Fish dishes and shumai alongside sake are the highlights. Open into the early morning hours — a hidden gem for a late-night stop on any Golden Gai crawl.
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.
