[QUOTE=evergrn;25646554]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?

evergrn: there was a schedule change and the NRT layover is now <3 1/2 hours. I have decided to just hang out in the JL F lounge, shower, get a massage, enjoy sushi and sake. Too bad there is no konbini at NRT airside.

I will shop for the esoteric obscure small stuff Japanese ingredients in HK.
Do you think yokan would make it through security entering HKIA or would that be considered a liquid? For those who don't know, it's a jelly like candy made from red beans typically in blocks.
