I had a shopping service for Q-pot in Hawaii before it closed. I am still able to purchase items from the Q-pot and other brand online shops or physical stores. Please feel free to contact me if there's any way I can help you out. For any item that you don't know the price for, I would be glad to find that out so don't be afraid to ask! :)
A semi-continuously updated list of what is in stock appears on the official Q-pot site with some special/limited/seasonal items appearing or remaining in physical stores. I will try to keep special/seasonal release in-stock update listing on my page as well. I will be updating with the newer additions as they come in. There are sometimes items available that do not appear on either official page so if you have heard about it, you can always ask and I will check for you!
I can also check on auction sites; acceptance at my own discretion.
My friend and shopping partner now lives closer to Osaka and Kobe and she conducts shopping trips every weekend. She goes through Sannomiya every day on the way home. We can buy almost anything from Sannomiya/Osaka/Kobe shops or online shops! Just ask!
Some toppings were limited Hawaii releases and are no longer available. Ice cream is a summer seasonal special. All necklace accessories can be mixed and matched.
Partial list of availability here.
