Actually, the US is the primary export destination. But yes, the Peruvian community in Japan buys hundreds of items that you couldn´t get even at Wong…
Anyhow, a bottle of algarrobina costs about US$20, and a bottle of Pisco Biondi some US$50. If you add to that the price of the lime (a Peruvian-like lemon), US$1.50 each, you can imagine that preparing a Pisco Sour or an Algarrobina cocktail are really, really expensive endeavours…
Keep enjoying the cheap Lima, Stuart!

Somehow I managed to get an algarrobina bottle here in Japan, which I use to prepare the cocktail from time to time (and only for special ocasions)
Yummi!
