Does anyone know if Grand Mart, E-Mart or Enson Market carry fresh yuzu? I have to respond to a business inquiry by the afternoon and I won't be able to go by until later this week.

Just wanted to drop a quick PSA and info note for the sub for shopping in Japan. I'm gonna tag sizes at the bottom of the post so that hopefully this pops up for people when searching.

I've found the following in-store brands at department stores and outlets around Japan so far:

Wacoal

Triumph

Tuta Anna

Wing

Tuche

Aimerfeel

Only listing harder to find sizes in Japan:

We explored Aso area today (Takuchiho Falls, Nakadake crater and surrounding, Sensuikyo Gorge). I would HIGHLY caution people trying to approach Kusasenri to consider stopping at other places instead. The traffic around the observatory area was unlike anything I have ever seen - it took us 35 minutes to drive 4km north on the mountain pass. The opposite direction going south was backed up for at least 8 miles. It had nothing to do with the road; it was all because there was absolutely no traffic management for the Kusasenri parking lot. No one could get in or out easily, and this resulted in huge problems.

I know staffing is a problem but if this is how bad it is before the fall "heavy tourist season", woof.

On the plus side, Sensuikyo Gorge is a great base for a lot of good hikes, beautiful drive up to it and way less tourists than Takuchiho.
