Unless I am going to check in a box (Iam in J on CX so I have the baggage allowance) I will have to forgo miso, kewpie mayo, packages of oshinko, etc and stick to packages of dry foods.
Okay, I think I remember your other thread about shopping for stuff during your 4hr NRT layover. With 4hrs, it's definitely possible to go to Narita city's konbini to stock up on stuff (then either check it in or stuff in your carry-on upon return to NRT). You ended up deciding you don't want to do that?
As far as stuff like packs of miso paste and kewpie mayo, those are actually things that you should get back home. Those things should be available in most any major city in the US, and plus they take up too much space in the luggage. Yeah, it's pricier in the States but imo there's cost associated with stuff taking up space/weight in my luggage. I never bring home stuff like that from my trips to Jpn/HKG. It's the smaller items and more esoteric stuff that you should focus on stocking up when you're in HKG.
