The Golden Gai housed Tokyo’s black market during the 1950s, and prostitution during the 1960s. It has been described as “a collection of mismatched, tumbledown bars lining alleyways in a darkened corner of Shinjuku”. It hearkens back to a distant time when Japan was still recovering from the ravages of World War II. It offers a rare glimpse of Tokyo’s architectural heritage, most of which was consumed by the 1923 earthquake, the fires of war, or twentieth-century economic development. The Golden Gai houses over 200 bars, some of which lie upstairs, a floor above their intoxicating companions. Some of the structures are only a few feet wide. You will literally rub shoulders with other customers in many establishments – for this reason, the Golden Gai is considered one of the friendliest places to meet people in all of Tokyo. At GGT, one can expect well-structured and playful cocktails with a strong Japanese influence. Small plates and sushi are available in the dining room and bar. A more intimate experience is at the sushi counter where guests can enjoy a 5-course tasting menu that can be paired with either sake or cocktails. The people are welcoming and friendly so be careful because you might just find your new regular hang.
