I will be going to Japan and visiting some relatives. In Japan it's common courtesy to bring a small gift, but I have no idea what to bring. Today I bought some cans of Planters mixed nuts (not kidding), but I don't think that's enough. What would be a good gift to give my cousins (in their 30's), my uncles/aunts, and my grandmother?

Gifts to Japan
Japanese are fascinated with things about the Arctic....maybe an Inuit carving...or something from our aboriginals. They also have a great love of the Anne of Green Gables.......so maybe something from PEI or even those music tapes of nature.
If it an expat living in Japan then maybe something that they can not buy there. Canadian Maple Syrup.

Gift idea
If you need more idea, Canadian/American Ginseng is quite popular among the older generation.

These are all great ideas. Yeah, my dad who used to live in Canada said he can't get maple syrup over in Japan, and wanted me to bring some over.
Where can I get maple syrup candy and Canadian Ginseng tea? I've never even heard of those (I didn't really grow up in Canada).
And I don't drink, so I don't know what ice wine is.
Can I get that at any liquor store?
