He is also getting couple bottles of the new ichiros 505 world blend later this month and asked me if I want. Hard to refuse the offer!

Thanks for this. I popped into my local AEON this morning and found an old label Taketsuru. It’s been about 6 months since I’ve seen it. Turns out it was the last one. Will maybe check another AEON tomorrow. I’ve continued to find Yamazaki, Hakushu and Yoichi at my local supermarket (DM for specifics). NFTB has turned up at Yamaya as well.
