サーヤ
A veteran bar on Maneki-dori that preserves strong echoes of the Showa era. Artists including photographer Daido Moriyama are among its visitors. Shots from ¥500; bottle keep from ¥3,500 — honest, accessible pricing for a Golden Gai institution.
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.
