Hi Alex, sorry to disappoint but I found mine locally in Taiwan (it’s not a standard imported item though). A cursory search around various Japanese websites shows a lot of places are sold out. If you ask at Bundoki, they may be able to help dig one up or track one down even if they don’t have them currently in stock. Sorry for not being more helpful! Perhaps another reader will have better advice.

Hi Robert, did you get yours at Bundoki.com? Since they are sold out right now. Or if somewhere else would you be able to let me know?
Thanks very much, having lots of trouble trying to track one down.

I just picked one of these bad boys up. The fit and finish is quite nice, and the whole thing oozes class. I think as a writing implement it’ll take a little getting used to, as I have grown more and more fond of my Staedtler 925-25-20 and its grip. However, I adore the Mitsubishi’s mechanical simplicity and overall design, so I hope it finds its way into regular use. Took a quick but not great snapshot to show the wood grain a little bit…which is much lighter than some of the other photos I’ve seen. http://imgur.com/OyVJ6.jpg

Yes. I finally find out, the stopper(plastic band) exist only for preventing lead from falling out. Except the lead’s stopper, all mechanism is as same as normal holder pen.^^

BlueWhale, the lead goes in the way it comes out – through the clutch mechanism.

Some 2mm leads have a plastic or metal band at their rear, which may be a safety measure against the lead falling out – these will have to be passed through the clutch with just a bit more care.

Hello. I bought Mitsubishi pure malt 2mm holder also.
I want to know how to replace lead exactly. The lead has some cap on it so I can’t take out lead from the pencil.

Thanks for all the comments. I concur on Bundoki’s excellent service.

I just looked up “Ujuku” – I wasn’t familiar with them, but I see they have some relevant items! :-)

Jim, eight months later, the leadholder is still in good shape, but the bottle seems to have disappeared somewhere along the way.

Hi Stephen, did you kill the bottle yet?

As “smooth as a Tombow 6B pencil”, I really like that touch though I think it would be lost on most fine spirits critics:>))).

Looking on the Ujuku ebay store, I noticed several other versions, including 0.5 mechanical pencils, in various shades of wood.
