Champagne at a “concafe” is like a magical element that creates special memories with the cast.
Based on information from over 20 establishments listed on the KonKon Café menu, we conducted our own research on champagne at concafe. In this article, we’ll explain everything related to the champagne experience at a concafe—from typical price ranges to how to order, and some important points to keep in mind.
What is Champagne in a Concafe?
Definition of Champagne
Champagne is a type of sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France, where carbonation is generated through a specific method (secondary fermentation in the bottle).
However, in concafe settings, the term “champagne” often refers broadly to sparkling wines in general, and this article also uses “champagne” to include sparkling wines.
In many cases, what’s labeled “champagne” on concafe menus is actually sparkling wine.
The Special Meaning of Champagne in a Concafe
Ordering champagne in a concafe has a special significance beyond merely consuming alcohol.
Once a bottle is opened, the entire atmosphere of the venue transforms—the luxuriousness of champagne and the sparkle of its bubbles set the stage for a truly special moment.
Additionally, ordering champagne itself is a way to express affection, gratitude, and congratulations to the cast. That moment becomes a precious memory with your favorite cast member.
Creating a Sense of Occasion
Opening a bottle of champagne is the simplest and most effective way to make your time at a concafe feel special.
On birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions, ordering champagne can give a sense of luxury and make the atmosphere even more festive.
Making Memories with the Cast
Champagne is also an important item for creating memories with the cast.
If you choose to open a bottle for occasions like a “1-year anniversary since we met” or “your 100th visit,” it can deepen your relationship with the cast.
By ordering champagne, you’ll also convey your appreciation to the cast, sharing a memorable experience together.
Celebrating Events and Anniversaries
It’s common in concafe to open champagne for various celebrations—like events, cast member birthdays, or store anniversaries.
Champagne instantly transforms the venue into a celebratory mood and helps strengthen your bond with the cast.
Especially “original champagne” (often called “orishan”) or “champagne towers,” which come with additional showmanship, can be key to making these events even more memorable.
How to Order Champagne in a Concafe
How to Tell the Cast
When ordering champagne, you first need to let the cast know “which brand, for whom, and how many bottles.”
For example, saying something like “One bottle of Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial (Moet White) for ○○-chan” gives them a clear idea of your order.
Tips for Choosing a Brand
There are various champagne brands out there.
If you’re new to this, you can ask the cast about their preferences before deciding.
Also, if you’re not fond of alcohol, consider low-alcohol sparkling wine or non-alcoholic champagne options.

Points to Note When Ordering Champagne in a Concafe
Budget Management
The price of champagne varies widely depending on the brand and the scale of the establishment.
While it’s tempting to go for expensive champagne, it’s essential to stay within your budget.
Also, be aware that some places charge additional fees if more cast members join the toast. Confirm the pricing system in advance.
Drinking Responsibly
Champagne generally has a relatively high alcohol content, so be careful not to overindulge.
If you have a low tolerance for alcohol, don’t drink too much at once; instead, share the champagne with the cast or other patrons.
Etiquette and Manners
In concafe, opening a bottle of champagne is itself a big event. Observe proper etiquette and show respect to those around you.
Also, there’s no need to force yourself to purchase an expensive bottle.
Even a lower-priced bottle can bring joy to the cast if they see you’re genuinely enjoying yourself.
Q&A About Champagne
Q1. What is “orishan”?
A1. “Orishan” is short for “original champagne,” a customized champagne bottle designed for a particular concafe cast member.
A typical champagne bottle is labeled with the cast member’s photo or name, or a store logo—making it a special, personalized item.
They’re often used for cast members’ birthday events or other special occasions.
Prices can vary from around 10,000 yen to 50,000 yen, but from the cast’s perspective, orishan orders are seen as a “popularity barometer.” Having many orishan orders is considered proof of popularity.
Q2. Can I take the champagne bottle home?
A2. Please check with the establishment. Many places allow you to take home an empty orishan bottle.
Sometimes the cast may want to keep the empty bottle. In such cases, taking photos and then gifting the bottle to them is a thoughtful gesture.
Q3. What is a champagne tower?
A champagne tower is a visually striking display where multiple champagne glasses are stacked in a pyramid formation, and champagne is poured from the top down.
They’re often used for birthdays or special events, creating a stunning visual impact.
Because arranging the glasses requires preparation, most concafe establishments require a reservation for champagne towers.
Q4. How much does a champagne tower cost?
A4. Champagne tower costs vary widely based on the number of tiers, number of glasses, and the brand of champagne used. Below are rough estimates:
3 tiers (5–7 bottles): 100,000–150,000 yen
4 tiers (8–10 bottles): 150,000–250,000 yen
5 tiers (10–15 bottles): 250,000–400,000 yen
Using high-end champagne raises the cost even more.
A top-tier tower can run anywhere from 500,000 to 1,000,000 yen.
Q5. Do casts receive any commission from champagne sales?
A5. Yes, many concafe venues have a system called “champagne back,” where a portion of the champagne revenue goes to the cast’s wages.
The percentage varies by venue but is commonly 10–30% of the bottle price.
For instance, if you buy a 100,000-yen bottle of Dom Pérignon, the cast might receive between 10,000 and 30,000 yen.
Ordering champagne also affects the cast’s sales rankings and evaluations.
This system makes it a joyous occasion for the cast when a champagne bottle is opened.
Summary
Ordering champagne is a wonderful way to forge a deeper connection between you and the cast.
Within a reasonable budget, use champagne to enhance your concafe experience and make your time there truly special.
