finger food

TSUMAMI - literally something held with two ends of something in Japanese.
This is used for something light to eat with alcohol: peanuts, cheese, etc.

Is there a good English word for this? 'Finger food'?

Thank you.

"Finger food" works. In a bar, you could ask for "beer nuts". Light foods served before a meal are "appetizers" or if you want to be fancy, "hors d'oeuvres" (or - dervs)
