Excuse me, I have an allergy. Is it possible to change the appetizer (otoshi) to something else?

はい、おとおしをおとうふなどべつのものにへんこうかのうです。
Yes, we can change the appetizer to something else, like tofu.
Gesture & etiquette
Place a hand over your chest politely to express your dietary restriction.
Do not refuse the 'otoshi' rudely, as it serves as a table charge in Japanese pub culture. Always explain the dietary reason politely.
