> Oddly I could not find any cheaply priced Japanese Whiskey
Any bog-standard supermarket will carry a variety of very low end Japanese Whiskeys. You can easily find 750ml for about 1000 yen. It won't poison you(!), but it is pretty rough. At this price point, it is rarely drunk neat. Also, Japan has nationwide uniform alcohol taxes. Alcohol taxes vary widely in the US by jurisdiction.

I was expecting it'd be like similar price or less. So I opted to just buy the imports in the US.
