The Difference Between Bar and Marché
First, here’s the difference between Bar and Marché at Koshienguchi Bar.
Bar
Bar refers to restaurants and eateries🍔.
The main price range for the menu items is 500 yen (one coin) or 1,000 yen. (Other prices may also be available.)
Marché
Marché refers to retail shops🛒 and service businesses.
Unlike the bar section, it does not follow the one-coin system, but items and services are offered at special prices🉐 rather than regular prices.
No Tickets Needed, So It’s Easy to Drop By
At Koshienguchi Bar, no tickets are required.
Just go into a shop and say, “I’d like the bar menu, please”, and you’re good to go👍
