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.

Unfortunately, as far as availability goes, those few months are an eternity...
