Maruzen Athena Ink Location Help

[flexy]

Went by yesterday and today. No luck. Still the same 3 athenas and a load of jentle. No Maruzen. It is true now you are only allowed 1 bottle per person even if they have more than one color.

Only one bottle, period? Not even one bottle per color?

The Fuchu branch had Sepia in stock last Friday, green box.

Yes. One bottle period now. I guess some people try to buy them all out. You used to be able to get 1 bottle per color, now just one bottle period of the Maruzen.

Thanks Eric. Nihombashi Maruzen was out this week.

I picked up a bottle of blue at the nihimbashi store on my "Tokyo tour of pen shops", and after the day of touring shops, on the way to an actual work meeting, I checked out the department store in Fuchu..... Go figure....

I am in Kobe for a few days and both main stores that sell Kobe ink have a 2 ink limit and must be different colors.

Maruzen Oazo has green box Athena in blue, black, blue black and sepia. I purchased two bottles without any issue.

The green Athena bottles (Black/Blue/Blue Black/Sepia) are not limited right now, just the Maruzen colors (when they are in stock).
