- Consumables bought tax-free are sealed in a bag you cannot open in Japan (rule ends 1 Nov 2026) — buy a non-tax-free bottle separately if you want to use it on the trip.
- Check you're getting the gold 'Premium' bottle; the standard white Gokujyun is even cheaper (~¥800).
- Prices vary ¥100-200 between drugstore chains; Don Quijote is not always cheapest despite the hype.
