The 200ml bottle will be priced at \u00a52,970, and a highball using the same whisky will also go on sale. The retailer said it is expanding its premium lineup in response to growing demand from customers who prioritize taste. At the same time, Lawson will roll out 10 lower-priced products, including 350ml canned sours starting at \u00a5114, to meet demand from consumers looking for more affordable options as prices continue to rise. The company aims to cover both premium and budget segments by broadening its alcohol selection in phases from late April. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kanosuke.com\/blogs\/news\/20260415?srsltid=AfmBOorU-QHIw3tJ-nhlgbpcvCKIzEo6cpDxNI-ZOLnMtxhNqSGjpraI\" target=\"_blank\">Kanosuke Distillery<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOUC154TN0V10C26A4000000\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nikkei<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_kanosuke-whisky-at-lawson_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1310%2C862&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1310\" height=\"862\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_kanosuke-whisky-at-lawson_2026_cl.jpg?w=1310&amp;ssl=1 1310w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_kanosuke-whisky-at-lawson_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_kanosuke-whisky-at-lawson_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C674&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_kanosuke-whisky-at-lawson_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C505&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: Kanosuke Distillery<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
