Thanks for posting, I do appreciate that! That said, it's more fun with your commentary. Even if it is that's cheap, that's expensive, we liked that one, etc. :)
Very interesting, especially to compare prices with import ones here where I live, to see the margins made but also what stays reasonable priced & what is now everywhere, why super high or not. Great choice in that shop !....Besides, the opened shop shows has security & behaviour are there usually compared to some of ours (it is a shocking contrast). Thanks to Martin & to you for the video & prices table aside 👍
@@carlmartinlinder Hi Martin, thanks for sharing your video...Yes it makes some of us envious...not about any idea of stealing stuff, but being safe in our streets 😌 I hope you bought some of those rare bottles maybe (for you or to offer)...Happy Holidays from France !
@@GregsWhiskyGuide Hello Greg! I have the opportunity to travel a lot in Japan and visit different whisky / liquor stores. This one is good because it is in a smaller city where I guess people that are into whisky dont go much. I bought many good bottles there and last time I bought Compass box Lost Blend for about 95 Euro. I think it was a good buy
Very interesting, a decent selection, although not many of the new wave distilleries making it out there yet. Vintage Malt and Macduff International, big in Japan who'd have thought!
Cool vid. Having been there many times myself, you don’t find liquors locked up in cabinets like in the US. 🙃 Cool pricing side view. Not sure of variety of whiskey in the domestic Asian stores, but may be worth a look? Mitsuwa, Nijiya, Murakai, Ranch 99…I shop frequently at the first 3.
Yep, got one (batch 1, 2012) it is true it is a good Bowmore, but there are better ones imho, esp. back in the days (the Dawn impresses me more, for instance,a 15 yo Port finish, or early batches of the Darkest & Mariner) but this was an interesting expression, sure. Cheers from France (& I like your nickname!)
@@shredward666 lol, here in md its almost impossible to find. Its not one of my favorites though. Was actually wondering if the age stated wild turkey was gonna be shown. Not sure if it goes to Japan though...

I was lazy on this one.
Some really great deals! Thank you Martin
Dusty shopping

Yes! And only one young women working in the shop. No security whatsoever.
I though that as well

Oh really liked the lost blend sample we tried

Probably just an old stock store
The one bottle that stood out to me was the red label Evan Williams 12 year old which I believe you can only buy in Japan, good video cheers.
Interesting

Japan is a different class of society when I think how stores are closing here because too many people walk in and steal off the shelves
Bowmore Laimrig!! That bottle is legendary buy it now.

Good to know
@@WhiskyMystery That Laimrig was batch 4, 54.1%, discontinued in 2014, $130 is a steal
Why are Japanese whiskies so expensive in Japan?
because there's no supply
I bought Hakashu 12 here in CA for $130
Whisky Mystery i did too. My gf loves hakushu 12. Thank god for KnL wines haha
The MRP is about half of the prices you see here.
Yeah thanks K&L
I went to maybe 15 stores in Japan and didn't see one EW12.
EW?
@@WhiskyMystery Evan Williams 12
@@Bolognesechris haha I have never looked for that in any store
хороший.выбор..)
Very nice.kip it up
Cheers
Whoa, Evan Williams 12 year for about $30?! Send me some of that
Free shipping I hope
Yea, saw that too!
Better price on eagle rare than most places in the us too
@@enricojaun2880 Fortunately in my area Eagle Rare is readily available for $30 at most stores 👍

Evan Williams 12 year is easy to get ahold of in Japan and a great buy. Wild Turkey 101 has an 8-year age statement in Japan
i wish US can get bowmore 18 deep&complex on shelf
Sounds good
What was the stand out whisky price wise in that video?
Hmm not sure. What would you buy?
@@WhiskyMystery Not sure as haven't done the conversion to GBP
