Hey everyone, what an interesting thread. I didn't buy since it's not really my thing, but I'll contribute a photo of this here Hibiki 21 from NRT T1 on Friday around 17:00.




I did, however, buy all 6 of these mini's. Makes for nice presents LOL

Thanks for the details about the (a) terminal and (b) time of day. Was this in the south wing (UA/ANA) or north wing (delta/KLM/AF/KAL) duty free shops?

Hibiki 21 was South Wing, ANA Duty-Free
Mini bottles were in an adjacent shop called Fuji Doll, close to Gate 52

I have heard Suntory will be refreshing their duty free lineup in the near future. Will be exciting to see what the new bottles look like.

I was in a town somewhere in Victoria, where I visited a bottle shop, and found out they're selling Yamazaki 12 for around A$270. This must be unexpected.

That's about the normal price at most shops that still have stock these days, even in Japan.

Thankfully a certain warehouse retailer in the US still sells it for $79.99 if you're lucky enough to be around when they get a shipment.

How hard is it to find the single MALT Yoichi in the Osaka area. Any tips? Big bottle or small, doesn’t matter. Do they do minis?

Yoichi NAS should be available at many liquor shops, just try the more popular chain shops. The aged or single cask stuff is a different story...

Nice find with the Hibiki 12. Was that at a retail shop?

Also curious how you bring stuff back to you home country. Do you just pack carefully in your check-in suitcase or do you buy a specialized shipping box and check-in with the airline?
