Making an English menu is difficult

I have been making an English menu of the Japanese Izakaya.
Izakaya is like an English pub, where they serve snacks and food to accompany your drinks.
When i make an English menu of it, there is one thing that it is difficult to explain.
That is O-toshi(お通し）.
Do you know O-toshi?
O-toshi is a small appetizer and servered to every customer when you have aseat. Serving O-toshi is a tradition in Japanese Izakaya.
It is like cover charge.
I think you might not understand this system. Because there is no kind of this system in your country.
But if you go to Japanese Izakaya, you'd better remember this system. Also if you know that, you will avoid the problem caused by this system.
