Sales store channels	Correspondent Xiao Yu's Shopping Spree and Nighttime Grub Guide
Three major convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Lawson)	Starting tomorrow (6/30) early morning, they'll be gradually released! They're perfect for a "late-night happy hour boozy frozen treat" after returning to your hotel and showering each evening. Having one of each of the two flavors to alternate is the most satisfying way to enjoy them.
Major city downtown supermarkets (e.g. AEON, LIFE, etc.)	If you buy them at the supermarket, there's usually a chance of finding discounts! If you plan to stay at a hotel for multiple nights, it's highly recommended to each carry two bottles back to your room's mini-fridge directly from the supermarket.
Department store basement food hall	Usually, the supply is most stable there. If the convenience store near your home accidentally gets cleared out by Japanese shoppers, checking the refrigerated section at the department store's food court can lead to a pleasant surprise!
