Kamari

A relative newcomer to the Ni-chome scene, Kamari is a tiny bar with a huge personality. Spearheaded by former bikini model and LGBT advocate Ayaka Ichinose, this establishment practices what it preaches by being inclusive to everyone on the sexual and gender identity spectrum. You can usually catch Ayaka at the bar on Saturday when she greets guests in a glamorous gown and with an infectious smile. Bartender Hibari, who loves dressing up as a ninja, is a favourite with tourists and the expat crowd as she loves conversing in English with the aid of her ever-present Poketalk interpretation device. Further adding to the bar’s ninja theme are the ninja star drink coasters and the decorative katana (traditional swords) resting just underneath the bottles of booze
