Bottle

A bottle order is whisky, shochu, champagne or another spirit bought as a whole bottle instead of glass by glass. At hostess clubs the set fee often already covers a house bottle, the venue's standard spirit, so "botoru" usually means a named brand you choose on top of that. Each brand is priced on the menu and billed separately from the set fee.

What you do not finish can usually be kept at the venue for your next visit, which is called bottle keep. You can decline when a bottle is suggested. Check the brand and price on the menu before ordering, and ask the floor staff if anything is unclear.
