So how do you interpret the 44,000 yen price, as per person, or the total price for up to a party of four? My comment of "devil's bargain" applies to a price of 44,000 yen per person, where you may feel compelled to drink more than normally might just to get your money's worth and was said somewhat tongue in cheek. But don't get me wrong, when it comes to drinking Champagne, I'm no prude. As for the macabus link, it reads like a great story, but without any video (or even photographic) proof, it never happened. He should have been wearing Google Glasses, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, just cuz I'd like to believe it.
