SM YAMATO

SM YAMATO is a newer gay cocktail bar in Shinjuku Ni-chome, opened in 2025 with bold red interiors and a more polished look than the neighbourhood’s traditional snack bars. Cocktails are served upstairs, while downstairs is given over to karaoke.

The bar welcomes international visitors, plays lively music and has built a reputation for creative drinks. If you're here, try ordering their “Gay Tea”.
