Still a few deals to be found if you look around. Found a few Hibiki 21s in Kyoto for $460/each. Not a bad price at all these days. They also had Hibiki 17 at $300/bottle.

Not bad. Already consumed one H21 Kacho Fugetsu. The H17 price sounds very agreeable.

Yes , 50k
NFTB is great but as it's easily available in the US I personally don't think it's worth the luggage space.

Picked up 3 bottles of BC from the favorite spot in Ginza. Sign said limit one per party, but I asked and they said I could buy as many as I wanted. They also had some Y12 minis, but I forgot at what price

So 23:00 local time? If they did have anything today I am sure it would be long gone by that time. Blenders Choice is not usually sold at duty free, you could have easily picked it up in the city.

They don't add stock everyday and the times vary but certainly nobody is restocking the shelves past regular business hours.
