Shirogane Platinum, Gotanda — The New-Customer Coupon Is Worth ¥6,000, and in Nine Wards the Mandatory Fees Are Also Exactly ¥6,000
A Gotanda delivery health calls itself a luxury shop at a low price, then prices its entry course at ¥350 a minute. The new-customer coupon knocks a flat ¥6,000 off — and the mandatory designation and transport fees in nine of Tokyo's twenty-three wards come to exactly ¥6,000, so the discount nets to zero against the sticker price. In the shop's own home zone the arithmetic does something stranger: every coupon course from ninety minutes up lands on exactly ¥300.00 per minute, forever.
