Otsumami is the Japanese term given to snacks and simple dishes, designed to be eaten alongside a drink. ('Tsumamu’ means to grab something with your fingers or chopsticks so any foods that can be eaten easily in this way came to be known as 'otsumami'.)

There are countless delicious flavour pairings to be enjoyed and included here are small bites and dishes to tempt everyone, from existing devotees of Japanese food to new-comers keen to discover more.
