Bottle keep
Patrons' bottles are kept on the shelf in a restaurant in Japan.
Bottle keep, or "bottle-keep", "keep bottle" (a wasei-eigo: 「ボトルキープ」, botorukīpu) is a service which is provided at some Japanese drinking establishments where a patron can have his unfinished bottle of liquor stored there under his name.[1] The service is offered by casual places like izakaya as well as by bars in some first-class hotels.[2] This system is less expensive than paying for single drinks for a long run.[3]

Many of these bars have a bottle-keep system for regular patrons, who buy a bottle from time to time, as it is less expensive than paying for single drinks for a long run.
