Hashiyasume

In Japanese cuisine, small dishes like pickles or vinegared vegetables served between main dishes are called 'hashiyasume' (箸休め).

By giving your chopsticks a rest with the above small dishes (i.e., 'hashiyasume'), you can enhance your enjoyment of the main dish.

In addition, the term 'hashiyasume' can also be used metaphorically in some situations as well as for a dish.

For example, it can mean "aside" or "side stories" in a discussion, implying a break from the main topic.
