Suntory Toki, about $33 in the US, is now at Yen 14,000 here, with a few bottles in Ginza only. I saw a Chinese gentleman try and buy 20+ bottles in a case at the second Sokuhai shop, with the shop assistant looking very nervous...

I stick to my forecast that ahead of the Olympics Suntory Royal will be the next premium priced whisky....STOCK UP FAST!
Toki needs to be imported so the price is no surprise. I highly doubt a ¥1500 whisky is going to be the next big thing or it would have already been inflated.
