Cheaper than what you pay for them in Tokyo right now.
Amazingly, VA ABC stores often have had the Yamazaki 12, and they sell it for $84.99 (last time I bought a bottle, it was only $70, FWIW). I just did an inventory search, and none of the ABCs near my house have it listed online--which is amazing given every time I stop in, I see it. Guess they're getting hit, too, with challenging supply.

Do you know where in Tokyo I could go and pick them?
I check the narita free website and it is not listed there.

I've never seen that in NRT Duty Free shops, but I have seen it in grocery stores in the greater Tokyo area. Hopefully someone else has more recent & more useful intel, but I recall seeing it at a grocery store in Kanagawa Prefecture (I forget the town itself--sorry!) last year. Unfortunately, as far as availability goes, those few months are an eternity...
