There used to be a large F&M stall in the tea/coffee area of one of the larger department stores in downtown Kyoto, carrying their entire line in all sizes of cans but it's disappeared. I can't even find a shelf of F&M in that store now. One other department store is carrying two or three blends, but nothing that I like. It seems that 'East India' company has taken over all their shelf space, and as far as taste goes, I can't understand why! What has become of my beloved Fortnum & Mason?

They still exist, and are selling Royal Blend on their website (don't know if they'll ship to Japan...) They do have a list of places in Japan that sells their stuff: http://www.fortnumandmason.com/World...kists,670.aspx, but only one in Kyoto:
