Dear all,

I would like to ask advice about giving a gift on my first visit to Japan. I do research at the local uni in YVR and asked to meet one of their top cancer surgeons who graciously gave me an invite. My question is what sort of gift would be appropriate?

Initially, I thought (coming from YVR) to give:

1. bottle of local ice wine + box of smoked salmon

This would be about 60CAD but Mrs. Wooe wasn't sure if smoked salmon would be appreciated given all the good salmon sashimi around.

2. A single nice bottle of liquor worth about 80CAD

then reading the forums here, what about:

3. Bottle of local ice wine and a sweater/pullover with my uni's name on it?

I would be most happy with any advice!

Thanks in advance
Wooe
