In a jazz bar in Tokyo where only drinks and snacks were served was an item called "Charm". I asked the waiter for better details and all he could say was "much charming". Even my husband who speaks basic japanese couldn't get a translation.
So we ordered it. It was a wicker bowl filled with assorted candies and crackers, each one individually wrapped. Imagine one potato chip in it's own sealed bag, or two peanuts in a little bag. Very silly to us, but quite charming to them.
