HoneyBaked Ham - Now in Japan

Finally!

Just an FYI that you can now get HoneyBaked Ham in Japan. We used to always have this growing up so happy to share it with Japanese friends. They are always amazed to try what we call 'real' ham.

Website is in English or Japanese.

This kind of ham is not available in Japan. While it is a little expensive, it is often less than pizza, sushi or other food per person. Also, it is fun to have the leftovers and make soup with the bone.
