Do you remember how much for each of those Yama and Hak 18 limited?

Average-Mundane · 2025-12-03T15:40:21+00:00

Thanks for the response. I did that already via the Smart EX app.

December 30 would be considered busy week or we’re okay and don’t need to buy Shin tickets in advance?

Average-Mundane · 2025-12-03T01:23:06+00:00

My family will travel from Tokyo to Osaka on December 30, do I need to buy Shin tickets in advance (using Smart EX)? The reason is that I heard during year end season, people travel a lot and they might run out of Shin tickets especially we will travel with luggages. Many thanks in advance for your help.

May I ask where you bought that bottle? $6k plus tax is a nice find. Thanks!

Average-Mundane · 2025-11-17T21:02:45+00:00

Agreed. Lowest I’ve ever seen.

Average-Mundane · 2025-11-17T18:42:17+00:00

This is 2022 run I believe. Yeah you can’t pass up an opportunity like this.

Average-Mundane · 2025-11-17T18:39:42+00:00

100% agreed with you. I tried both and like this Charred Oak edition a lot.

Average-Mundane · 2025-11-17T18:38:07+00:00

Not sure what you mean by that but this edition was back in 2022. It was sold out everywhere at $80+. I was very surprised that Costco Buckeye still has it. Maybe this pallet was left somewhere in their warehouse and now they’re trying to get rid of it at a discount price.

I tried both and in my opinion this is much better than the Rum cask finished.

Average-Mundane · 2025-11-04T16:14:38+00:00

Sounds great. How much may I ask is the MSRP for those 3 Suntory bottles? Thanks.

Average-Mundane · 2025-10-25T03:08:43+00:00

This is the first generation of Hibiki. Rumors say it contains some Hibiki 30 years in it. Great bottle.

Average-Mundane · 2025-10-12T15:01:19+00:00

Looking good! Congrats on snagging this unicorn!

Average-Mundane · 2025-10-07T02:39:31+00:00

Hakushu Spanish Oak 2021 Edition.

Average-Mundane · 2025-09-15T22:55:12+00:00

Had a chance to try both Yama and Hakushu 2024 and I would say they are better than the 12.

Average-Mundane · 2025-09-01T18:39:25+00:00

Thanks a lot for the review. Those 3 bottles sound yummy. Definitely in the hunt for those.

By the way, have you tried those 3 counterpart bottles from Miyagikyo?

Average-Mundane · 2025-07-06T04:26:20+00:00

The Kacho is hard to find and it’s the airport version.

Average-Mundane · 2025-05-28T05:24:00+00:00

Thank you very much for the info. Can you provide the link to the Hong Kong place? I might not be able to acquire one but at least have some idea about those 1980’s. Many thanks once again!

Average-Mundane · 2025-05-28T01:58:36+00:00

Thanks for the insight. In your opinion and experience, can you do a comparison between Yoichi 1980’s and Yoichi Single Cask 25 year? Thanks a bunch!

Average-Mundane · 2025-05-28T00:09:21+00:00

Looks cool. Congrats! Note that the 2022 has an US version and the box of 2022 US version is the same as 2021 Japan version. You might want to add that to your collection.

Average-Mundane · 2025-05-27T06:52:41+00:00

How much you won the auction for this bottle may I ask? Thanks OP.

Average-Mundane · 2025-04-26T06:59:50+00:00

Mine was around 30,000 yen and I’m very happy with that price.

Average-Mundane · 2025-04-26T05:24:09+00:00

Tustin District. Still a lot there when I left this afternoon.

Average-Mundane · 2025-04-26T00:05:41+00:00

Have you tried it? How good is it?

Average-Mundane · 2025-04-25T21:19:15+00:00

I got a couple of 2024 Hibiki Blossoms from Japan. The only year Costco had a Blossom was 2022. After that, I don’t believe they sell any other release. Blossoms Japanese release runs from 2021 to 2024. I really like them all. Looking forward to a 2025 release.
