Shinjuku Whisky Salon at Go Shinjuku

Award-winning whisky and cocktail bar in Shinjuku Sanchome with a deep Japanese whisky list, a sommelier-led team and late-night hours.

Shinjuku Whisky Salon is an award-winning whisky and cocktail bar a short walk from Shinjuku Sanchome Station, recognised as one of Japan’s top Japanese whisky and cocktail destinations. The space is inspired by wa, or Japanese style, with a calm interior that feels both relaxed and intentional, and a bar team that includes certified Masters of Whisky. The whisky list covers an extensive range of Japanese distilleries alongside an original cocktail menu, including a much-loved Old Fashioned made with Japanese whisky, roasted green tea and black sesame syrup.\n\nThe bar is affiliated with the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, giving it access to bottles and private-cask pours that are hard to find elsewhere, and the staff take genuine pleasure in walking guests through flights and recommendations. Opening hours run late, which makes it equally well suited to a quiet pre-dinner pour or a long, slow evening with friends.\n\nFor a Shinjuku whisky bar that combines deep knowledge, rare bottles and warm hospitality, Whisky Salon is a confident choice. Ask the team for a recommendation based on your usual drink and let them lead.
