Quarantine-wise, yes you're allowed to bring honey to Japan. It's expected in Japan to give something especially for occassions like the ones you mentioned. Best that you bring one for every relative of your boyfriend, even those you might not be planning to meet. You want to give them the best impression of you. Honey is a good natural product, and older people will definitely like it. Since you're from NZ, I'd recommend you buy Manuka honey since they have various health properties, not very common, and New Zealand's Manuka honey is amongst the best in the world. I hope I don't sound like a commercial :), but you can find them in the health food section of most major supermarkets. If you were from Australia, I'd recommend getting Macadamia honey. The best one I found is from The Honey Farm in Tasmania since the honey is mixed in with finely ground macadamia (not like most honey where they only put flavoring in or at most, put a few whole macadamia nuts in the honey ).





Some of your bf's younger relatives might like coffee, good exotic coffee is the best. I was told that my friend's brother likes coffee, so I bought several boxes of Jarrah of liquor coffee samplers and that was VERY well received. So I say, ask your bf if any of his relatives likes certain things/has certain hobbies. You can never go wrong with chocolates for the young 'uns.
Reply:They like fish and not Honey
Reply:Honey would be fine I guess. Its all personal taste, so asking people on the internet would probably help you a lots less than asking your boyffriend himself if his father's-saide grandparents would like honey. It's readily available here in Japan.





As for his parents- yeah you should probably get them something again. Omiyage is giving every time you come back, not just the first time.
Reply:Yes, you should give more presents to his parents!





You shouldn't have any problems bringing honey into Japan.





Honey is widely available, so if you do bring some as a present make sure it's good honey in a fancy package! And OBVIOUSLY foreign!!





Honey is good because it doesn't matter if they have their own teeth still or not ....





Or you could bring them something that's produced in your home country - you don't say where you're from, but something that's locally made is usually well-received. (EVERYTHING is well-received really, but it has more MEANING if it's got a personal 'history' of some sort!)
Reply:I think you should bring gifts to your boyfriends' parents too.. since you are giving gifts to his grandparents too...





How about some light handmade ornaments which have a taste of ancient?
Reply:I think customs would allow you to bring honey as long as the seal on the jar has not been broken. They do sell honey in Japan. It's touted as health food for elderly people. . . !!


I think the important thing is that you bring a gift from your country and that you give a gift, period. So don't worry. Present it w humility and they will appreciate the thought.


If you want to bring another gift to the parents any kind of food is fine: chocolates, cookies, etc. You don't have to spend a lot of money. It's the thought that counts.
