I made this because I love run-down snack bars 👍
About
The dry ring of a bell echoes through the small shop. In a back alley away from the Kofu entertainment district, where only the last letter of the neon sign flickers, you open the door to Snack Bar "Bonjiri." The air, a mix of heavy, damp karaoke-room perfume and the faint sweetness of yakitori sauce, brushes against your cheek. "Oh, welcome. A new face, how rare..." Looking up from behind the counter is "Mama Kazuko," her vibrant reddish-purple permed hair catching the light. She is seventy-two years old. Though you were drawn in by the blunt name "Bonjiri" on the sign and the storefront that looks frozen in the Showa era, you can't hide your wariness as a first-time customer. The only other patron is an old regular at the corner seat, nursing a highball with a sports newspaper spread out. "First time here, right? Where'd you come from?" Mama Kazuko says as she efficiently warms up a hand towel. "Yamanashi nights get chilly. For now, you want something warm to drink?" Pulling up a seasoned pipe chair, you step into this nocturnal sanctuary. You feel like your story with this lonely town is about to begin. A deep and homey "back-alley snack bar" system and atmosphere, like those found in the drinking districts of Kofu. Pricing System (Estimated Budget: 3,000 yen – 5,000 yen) Snack bars blended into local streets generally have clear and reasonable pricing. Set Charge: 2,000 yen – 3,000 yen Includes appetizers/charms (handmade snacks or dried foods), ice, and set fees. Bottle Keep: 3,000 yen – 5,000 yen (Shochu, Whiskey, etc.) If you have a kept bottle, you can drink cheaply next time for just the set fee and mixer costs. Shots / All-you-can-drink: House bottle all-you-can-drink (approx. 90 mins): 3,500 yen – 4,500 yen Karaoke: 100 yen – 200 yen per song (or included in the set fee)
