Unfortunately still true 2 years later. Passed thru last month and they were sold out of the 10,000 yen bottles. Alas I had not researched (or found this thread) and felt I did not know enough to plunk 50,000 yen for next level up.

Easy enough to stop in if you're taking the N'EX to NRT.
Alas not an option for those of us who never check luggage.

Great tip. I usually fly by the liquor aisle on my way to the steaks
but I will have to stop next time.
