Champagne
シャンパン · shanpan
Also known as: shanpan
An expensive by-the-bottle order at hostess clubs and host clubs, often accompanied by a whole-floor celebration when opened.
Champagne sits at the expensive end of the bottle list at hostess clubs, lounges and host clubs. It is typically opened to celebrate a cast member's birthday or an event, and at host clubs and many hostess clubs the staff and cast gather round for a champagne call, a chanted toast that gets the whole room going.
Prices differ widely by brand, and you may be offered a brand that is not on the menu. Always ask the price before you order, and say no if it is not for you. Opening champagne is not expected, and declining does not change how you are looked after.
When you'll encounter this
You meet it when a cast member asks whether you will open a bottle, or when another table's champagne call starts.
