Shell-Shocked: Oysters and Karaoke Own Saturday Night

Golden Gai is going all-in on shellfish tonight. FUJISAN has stocked oysters, littleneck clams, and abalone—pair them with drinks at the quiet upstairs counter when Fuji takes the helm at 8pm for a more contemplative evening.

Arupaka opens at 8pm, and given it's been running for over fifty years, you can count on proper service even on a Saturday night like this. The old guard keeps things reliable.

If karaoke's your scene, head to Inoshika-Chou. Jun and Yabe will be holding court from 8pm onwards, keeping the energy cranked until sunrise. The bar stocks Japanese whisky alongside sake and shochu, drawing a genuinely multicultural crowd. Word is it's refreshingly welcoming to international guests—the kind of place where you'll find yourself singing with strangers from five different countries by midnight.
