NearMe KARAOKE BAR — Restaurant in Tokyo

If you want to experience real Japanese bar culture with a warm welcome, you have to visit this place in Shinjuku’s Kuyakusho-dori! From the moment I walked in, “Mama” (the owner) greeted me with such a genuine smile that I instantly felt at home. All the staff are so friendly and easy to talk to — even if you don’t speak Japanese, they’ll make sure you feel comfortable. They use gestures, simple English, and a lot of kindness.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The counter seats are super comfortable if you’re solo, and there’s a private box seat area in the back that can fit about 10 people — perfect for a fun night out with friends. They also have karaoke, so you can either sing your heart out or just enjoy listening to others. It’s such a fun way to experience Japanese nightlife!

And let’s talk about the drinks… Wow! Mama’s selection of Japanese craft gin is amazing — every single one is made in Japan. I tried unique flavors like curry, chai, and amanatsu (a type of Japanese citrus), and each one was such an adventure. If you’re lucky, Mama might even give you a little “gin lesson,” explaining the flavors and how they’re made. It felt like traveling through Japan’s craft spirit culture without ever leaving the bar.

Whether you want a relaxed solo drink or a lively group night, this bar is perfect. I left feeling so happy, full of great memories, and with a warm heart. If you’re in Tokyo, don’t miss this spot — it’s the kind of experience that makes you fall in love with...
