とりあえずビール
An 居酒屋 evening has a shape. It opens with とりあえずビール — a beer for now — ordered for the whole table so that everyone can toast together rather than waiting on individual drinks. Food arrives in small plates to share, ordered in rounds as the evening goes rather than all at once. Many places bring an お通し, a small dish you did not order and will be charged a few hundred yen for; it is a cover charge in the shape of food, not a mistake.
