At 1800 ea that's equivalent to the Liquors Hasegawa price for a full bottle of Y12 (25000). So yea, not cheap. JP online pricing is closer to 15000 and US pricing if you get lucky can be around $100. So a good price for mini Y12 should be ~ 700-1000.

While all aged minis are hard to find, the Yama 12 is most available in some stores (I see once in a while at prices under Y900). The Hakushu 12 and Hibiki 17 minis I have never seen outside of hotel minibars but I'm not a local (with local knowledge).

Haul overview from my weekend trip:
Hakushu Distillery Exclusive - Hakushu Distillery (¥1466)
Yamazaki 18 Limited Edition - Haneda JAL DFS (¥50000)
Fuji Sanroku 18 Limited Edition - Haneda JAL DFS preorder (¥32000)
Moon Glow First Release - Donki Shinjuku Southeast Exit Store (¥15000)
Hibiki Harmony - Hakushu Distillery (¥5500)
Taketsuru 17 - Liquor Mountain Shinjuku (¥23000)
Always nice to cap off a trip by finding one of the Y18 or H21 at the airport. I still can't believe the airport LE prices that were considered a horrible ripoff are now reasonable-to-good. Will post some other stock pictures and pricings from around town later.

Argh, looked at the wrong receipt. Sadly it cost me ¥23000. Corrected my post. T17 for ¥12000... yeah that would be the life. Syurui.com has it for ¥17000 before tax, if you can have a Japanese address to ship to.
The same Shinanoya also had a Taketsuru 21 for ¥29000 when I visited on Saturday, but it was already purchased by the time I went back to pick it up on Monday. Sigh.
