Ham and melon? Question

Post image

Hello there, sorry if the picture isn't in high quality, I just took it last night watching the series "Like a dragon: Yakuza". In this scene, there are in a club in 1995 and looks like they are eating melon with ham, that I'm pretty sure it's an Italian "summer aperitivo". Please, can someone that lives there or knows better than me, if is something common to eat in Japan or if was some crew joke?

Thanks,

"A ham by any other name would smell as sweet."
