Gesture & etiquette
Make eye contact with the staff and raise one hand slightly (no snapping or loud calls); point to menu items clearly with one finger; use a relaxed but polite tone.
Pointing at menu items and saying 'これ' (this one) is perfectly acceptable at izakayas — don't worry about sounding too simple; pairing it with 'お願いします' keeps the tone polite, and staff appreciate clarity over elaborate Japanese.
