Good Ole Tennessee Bar

Yoshi is the GREATEST! He's very personable and makes all is guest feel like they're visiting family! The atmosphere of the bar is a true "VOLS" vibe! If you're ever in Tokyo, be sure to stop by the Good Ole Tennessee Bar (GOTB) for some drinks, food, and fun! You'll love that you stopped by and hate it if you didn't! So be sure to support Yoshi and the GOTB!

A fantastic experience that felt like a home away from home. This bar caters to Tennesseans and UTK fans alike (Go Vols!) Yoshi is a UT alumni and Tennessee sports fanatic who does an excellent job making his customers feel welcome. I had a few cocktails and tried the chili nachos, all of which were delicious. Stopping by this bar has been a highlight of my trip here in Tokyo. If you are from Tennessee or are a fan of Tennessee, I highly recommend you stop by and say "Howdy"!

Yoshi is someone you meet once in a lifetime. The kindness, hospitality, and warmth he brings to those who come into his bar is unmatched. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and stopped by as we live in East TN. He had no idea we were coming in that night, but right when he heard we were on our honeymoon he opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate. His dedication to amazing customer service is truly remarkable. My wife and I would consider him a friend, and I know he would as well. I can't speak highly enough of his character and kindness. Also, on-top of all this, he is a wizard when it comes to his drinks. He definitely is a mixologist, as his drinks are nice and smooth. I don't know many Japanese words/phrases, but Yoshi dedicated time while we were there to teach me how to navigate simple Japanese words/phrases to be used on our trip. He even wrote down notes for me on a sticky note. THAT is going above and beyond for your customers. Yoshi's bar is a fantastic tribute and respect to East TN and the Volunteers. We honestly forgot we were in Tokyo by the time we left his bar that night LOL. Go Vols! p.s. If you see a "From Tennessee, With Love" white hat in the bar, that was from us!

If you're a UT Vols fan (GBO) and you happen to wake up and find yourself in Tokyo Japan, go by the Good Ole Tennessee Bar!   It is the quintessential spot for all Vols fans!   While small in size,  the love for the University of Tennessee looms large!   Yoshi is the owner (AND an alum) and he is so welcoming and accommodating - he even taught us some Japanese phrases (which we actually used during our trip).   Step up to the bar, order a Jack and Coke and enjoy the ambiance.  And while you're there, sing a verse of Rocky Top while shaking an orange and white pompom and don't forget to sign the wall!

Good Ole Tennessee Bar is an absolute gem in Tokyo! From the moment you walk in, Yoshi—the heart and soul of the bar—welcomes you with open arms and an energy that’s truly contagious. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and the perfect place to enjoy a great drink and even better company. Yoshi’s passion for Tennessee and his incredible hospitality make this spot feel like home, no matter where you’re from. It was an absolute honor to meet him, and I can’t wait to see him achieve his dream of singing the national anthem at a UT game one day. If you’re in Tokyo, this bar is a must-visit!

The food is great and drinks go down easy. Yoshi creates such a fun atmosphere and his hospitality is unmatched. If you’re a UT sports fan you can’t skip out. Next time we’re in Tokyo we will be back!

We had the best time with Yoshi-San!!! We felt so welcomed and cared for. Fantastic service, atmosphere, drinks, and conversation. If you want some American southern charm, this is the place to be! Thank you, Yoshi-San!🧡

Yoshi made our night unforgettable. Perfect drinks, great music, and just enough rowdiness to bring back memories of our time at UT. I'm proud to see our Alumni and spirit in Tokyo. When I come back, this will be the first stop for sure.
