As I suggested in my previous post, theyre not going to give their 1-2 allocated bottles per year to the first person who cold calls them. Get creative.
Retail price is also $299 in the US now for the Yamazaki since last year.
Add in tax on that and you're close to $350.
Whats the issue with paying ~$450 for the airport bottle? You've probably spent more than the difference in time and subway fares already.
