This thread is about where to find whiskey in Japan. Extended discussion about where to find Japanese whiskey elsewhere is off topic and will be removed.

Three years ago, I bought a bottle of Hibiki Harmony for USD $43 and a Hibiki 17 for USD $130 at the Lucua Department Store at Osaka station. I consider myself fortunate looking at today's prices! I will be back in Tokyo and Osaka in Mid June. Where does the collective mind suggest I go to purchase more in either city? Also interested in Yamazaki Single Malts and need opinions on Yoichi. Flying in to NRT mid afternoon in June and out of HND mid morning end of June.

Ok I am planning on "connecting" via Narita to fly home then. Another question. Can I connect AIRSIDE between T1 and T2 at Narita? (i.e. to look for whisky at both terminals) Narita website says there is a bus but for transit passengers only. Do they check boarding passes to make sure you are not just transiting for shopping etc?

Currently in Tokyo now staying in Shinjuku.
Found two Evan Williams Red for around 30 USD at Bic Camera in Shinjuku and Blantons STFB for 40 USD.
Found a small liquor store near Golden Gai and got Blantons Black for around 40 USD.
Any other items I should look for? Having no luck finding Yamazaki and only found Hibiki 17 for 360 USD which was a pass for me

...over here in NC we don't even get Yamazaki 12 in the ABC store at the jacked up prices much less at the friendlier Costco prices.
Sadly my next planned trip to Tokyo isn't until 2020 -- crossing my fingers that a work trip takes me to SIN or ICN so I can make a stop in Tokyo before then
