I believe guests are supposed to be relaxed in the hosts’ house in the US, while in Japan, guests are commonly supposed to behave like a “guest”. It means the guests sit properly and can’t leave dinner, as you may know.
I would offer Japanese sweets.
Many women love cakes (The picture below. When Japanese people say “cakes”, we commonly mean that kind of cakes with cream and sponge.) Many men dislike them, and they prefer Japanese sweets because it’s not greasy or too sweet.
Most women like Japanese sweets, too. So I would offer Japanese sweets.

*W* it was one of the few times I ever really felt there was a massive difference between England and Japan. The first time my friend tried it, her japanese freind's response was more or less "I can't come to your house for dinner; I don't have a kitchen," which caused a lot of confusion and we ended up doing something else instead. Eventually she came to dinner when she was in the UK, though, so it worked out in the end!
Mmmm, the mont blanc looks delicious! ;__; I want some Japanese sweets now.
