Japan in its' best.

It looks like a typo to me too, Anon.

I don't think it's a typo, it's a misunderstanding or simply mistake (depending on how you look at it).

MrPedantic is right that it should be "at it's best", but in Japanese "in" and "at" are often translated from the same Japanese character. I would say "in" is actually more poetic and real, grammatically "at" is better though.

"Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable

I thought, maybe, in the context of a chopsticks package, that it might 'poetically' mean-- "Japan in its best emblematic form."

Oh well, just musing.

For positive commenting, we use "[You] are at your best". When the comment could be positive, but the speaker wants to associate something as unexpected, "[You] are in rare form."
