When I was on tour in Japan a few years ago we were introduced to the magical powers of Strong Zero. However, it's impossible to get in the UK and a google search hasn't been very helpful. Does anyone know where I can get it in the UK?

You could try the Japan Centre: http://www.japancentre.com/
No idea what their booze selection's like though, I used to just order food and snacks when I lived in Britain. They had more in the London store than what they list on their website.
I don't think it is going to happen. You might be able to whip up your own Chu-hi with shochu and juice but I don't think Suntory would see much profit in exporting Strong Zero.
Actually, Strong Zero is made with vodka, so it's even easier to replicate for someone in the UK. Vodka, club soda, lemon. They also add a sweetener so maybe a pinch pf sugar?
Try mixing vodka, lemon squash and running it through a Soda streamer?
Yeah, I know I could probably make an approximation of it, but I kinda wanted to surprise some of my tour buddies with a case of the stuff.
You can do vodka through a Sodastream? I just acquired one, have not yet learned how to use it...but this is highly motivating. Thanks!
I don't know what it's like in the UK, but in AUS drinks are taxed on alcohol content, so if Strong Zero was imported + tax it would end up being quite expensive.
This for me would take away one of Strong Zero's most attractive parts: its price.
