うん、一人500円のチャージがかかるよ。その代わりお通しが出るからね。
うん、ひとりごひゃくえんのちゃーじがかかるよ。そのかわりおとおしがでるからね。
Yeah, there's a 500 yen cover charge per person. But you get an appetizer included with that.
Gesture & etiquette
Smile naturally and hold up five fingers to indicate the amount while explaining.
Avoid sounding stiff or overly polite; keep it friendly as it is a casual bar setting.
