About

Located on the basement floor of the Dai-2 Nakae Building in Shinjuku Nichome, "Omusubi BAR Hachi" is a warm, LGBTQ+-friendly bar themed around, as the name suggests, "omusubi" (rice balls). The interior, centered around a compact counter with about 8 to 10 seats, offers a cozy, home-like atmosphere where you can relax as if you were back at your own house. The charm of the bar lies in the ability to enjoy conversation with the owner and staff, making it a popular spot for first-time visitors to Nichome or those drinking alone to feel at ease. The daily handmade rice balls, especially the "yolk-topped" variety, are highly acclaimed and perfect for enjoying with a drink while satisfying a light appetite. The bar features an extensive selection of whiskies, perfect for comparing different pours. Based on a concept that values human connection, it is a comfortable community bar where regulars and newcomers alike can naturally interact.
