Yeah, just visited Wine Shop Yamamoto and saw the Tks were cleaned out. Was that you?
Picked up the TK 25 last year when it was 60000 yen and the exchange rate was a lot more favorable. Was tempted to pull the trigger, but felt it wasn't worth it.

And you're right it's very slim pickings all over Japan. Got lucky finding a Hibiki 21, and a Yama 18. But that's it, otherwise just taking back a few Nikka From the Barrel as gifts.
