Hi guys,

Moving to Tokyo (from Australia) on Tuesday. I was just wondering about the availability of 3% hydrogen peroxide in Tokyo - is it widely available in chemist shops as it is over here? What is it called in Japanese? If it's not widely available, would I be allowed to take some over with me on the plane? (Malaysian Airlines).

Thanks a bunch!

AND THEY WILL STOP YOU AT NARITA BRINGING IN YOUR CHEMICALS, MAN!

Very Happy

I don't know what you're smoking dude. I use 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with water as a mouthwash.

Koopa ... Are you from Queensland by any chance? Just use Listerine.

I'm not from Queensland.

Listerine doesn't kill germs in your mouth - it just feels like it does. It just masks flavour.
Hydrogen peroxide releases oxygen into your mouth which kills bacteria.. I won't go into specfics here.

And no, I'm not going with Nova. Cool

I get oxygen in my mouth every time I inhale.

kasanka suiso is the romanji for hydrogen peroxide. Just the chemical.

kasanka suiso sui means a solution of hydrogen peroxide.

Never bought it here, so I don't know its availability.
