The >$1000 stuff is out of my price range, and I can get the Hak/Yam 18 here for $250. (Actually just swung by the liquor store three blocks from my house on my way home from work and they had 6 bottles, more that I saw at any store in Japan). Thus, we brought back about a dozen Hak/Yam 12 and Hibiki 17 minis, two Hibiki 17 full size bottles, a Nikka 12, and a Kurayoshi 18 (which I had never tried before, but a Donki sold it for a possibly erroneously low 12k yen). Declared at PDX customs, and were waived right through.
