So I bought 1 bottle of Osake and a "summer package" special with 4 small bottles of Osake in it and I plan to take them with me when I leave Japan and return to my country.
Would this be allowed? And how should I declare them?
thank you!

I believe 2 bottles is just the duty free limit. You could bring more than that, but you may have to pay taxes on the extra bottles when entering the country.

Aside from the matter of duty, there are also restrictions on carrying liquids onto planes. Depending on the size of the bottles, you may have to put them in your suitcase.

The link given by Uji is a little vague. The actual regulation is "2 bottles of alcoholic beverages of not more than 1 litre each." You do not state the size of these bottles, it might be that if the total contents of all five bottles is less than two litres you may be OK, although it would be totally up to the customs officer you encounter.

We packed several bottles of awamori from Okinawa in our suitcases, and they made the trip without any problems. Just declare them.
