(I understand there's no tipping in Japan but not sure whether I would need to in this situation). Thanks for any advice. I don't personally drink whiskey so not interested in a bar that serves it only a bottle to take home.
The Bic Camera in Shinjuku is a good spot. Last time I was there I was able to get Evan Williams 12 and a Four Roses Super Premium.
I also went to YaMaYa Shinjuku which is also a short walk away. I was able to find Blantons Black (Japanese only Blantons release) and Japanese only releases of Wild Turkey and Four Roses.
