Just following up on this. From what I read I can bring in 1.5 liters duty free and pay a duty/tax on amounts greater than this. Is this correct? Ordinarily I'd just ship it home (USA) but that seems to be even a worse idea.

"Are cigarettes and alcohol duty-free?
Answer: up to 400 cigarettes or 100 cigars and
up to 1.5 liters of alcoholic beverages (alcohol measure above 12 degrees) are duty-free either entering or exiting. More than the limited amount needs to be declared and a certain mount of duty needs to be paid."
If I buy more than 1.5 liters in Japan, do I pay a duty when entering and exiting? Does TWOV have any impact on this?
