ABOUT THIS BAR

A hidden bar with over 50 years of history. 'Ashita no Joe' figurines and posters create a deeply Showa-era atmosphere — a genuine time-travel experience. In 2025, Franz Ferdinand shot a lyric video set in the bar, bringing it unexpected international fame.

ABOUT SHINJUKU GOLDEN GAI
