1. A honeycomb filter for cleaning exhaust gas, wherein
the material for the honeycomb filter is an aluminum magnesium titanate sintered product obtained by firing at from 1000 to 1700° C. a mixture consisting of
100 parts by mass, as calculated as oxides, of a blend consisting of a Mg-containing compound, an Al-containing compound and a Ti-containing compound in the same metal component ratio as the metal component ratio of Mg, Al and Ti in aluminum magnesium titanate represented by the empirical formula MgxAl2(1−x)Ti(1+x)O5 (wherein 0.25≤x<1), where the blend consists of the elements Mg, Al, Ti and O, and optionally at least one of C, N and S; and
1 to 10 parts by mass of an alkali feldspar represented by the empirical formula (NayK1−y)AlSi3O8 (wherein 0≤y≤1),
the aluminum magnesium titanate sintered product comprises aluminum magnesium titanate having a crystal lattice, and
Si is solid-solubilized in the crystal lattice of the aluminum magnesium titanate.
