Yes, very easy to come by, about 1000 won MAXIMUM. Emart/Home Plus would be the easiest, but I run into it in convenience stores and supermarkets of all stripes.

I've never seen tonic water at a combini. What brand is it? I'm genuinely interested to know as I love me some g and t's.

The only place I have seen it aside from Itaewon is at a huge Emart (near Yongsan?)

Yep, at my Emart, it's with the spirits. They sell it in small cans for about 500 won each. At my Lotte Department Store supermarket, it's in the cold case near the juice. You can also sometimes get the small bottles at Emart.

I pretty much exclusively drink g & ts. They work out at like 500won each if you make them at home. My emart has no name gin for 7000won.

Hard to say. I just know that when I was like "Now I need some tonic water" I would think "I've seen it all over the place" and then strike out at a couple shops and find it at a third. Right now I have the generic white label one and a can of Canada Dry in my fridge.

At my local Emart they have 2 kinds. The Jinro stuff in the stubby bottles for about 1,000 won next to the gin (cheap 7,000 won bottles and sometimes Bombay Sapphire) or they might have Canada Dry Tonic in the 250ml cans next to the ginger ale and other soft drinks (500 won).

It isn't always in stock, but most of the time.

I usually go in and buy all their cans of ginger ale and tonic water.

Order it online and have it delivered...Stop wasting time and energy searching for a store that carries it.
