Can I take Honey with me on my plane ride to Japan?

Question

I'm going to be flying to Japan on August 3rd for a Wedding and I was wondering if it was okay for me to take honey on aboard the plane.

Answer 1

Unless it is less than 3 ounces, you cannot carry it on board.  You CAN send it in bags that are checked as far as security goes (obviously wrap it well).

Please note that different countries also have rules on the importation of food, and that carrying a quantity of an agricultural product (which honey is) may make you subject to additional inspection, and possible confiscation.  I could not find Japan's easily.  ( link below was closest I could find, it does not specifically mention honey).  You can always contact the Japanese Consulate nearest you for specifics.
