Pretty much anywhere, no? Probably even in convenience stores, one in every corner.

thats what i thought too....not as easy as you might expect. I looked in about 15 supermarkets and convenience stores and finally found tonic water (i dont remember where... ) If you're really desperate, all the 4 and 5 star hotels have it and will sell it to you.

If it is that unusual, you should try one of the specialty supermarkets, such as Seijo Ishii, Natural Lawson, Food 24, or Peacock. I would assume that the Nissin and the National Azabu would also carry it. Or how about the corner packy store? Plenty of those around also.

Strangely enough I just bought a bottle of Canada Dry tonic at ito yokado, last night. I think they have both at Lawsons. If you need a case of soda, or tonic, call kakuyasu, they deliver by scooter, COD.

Look harder! Regular supermarkets carry the stuff, it's usually about 100 yen for a 500ml bottle. Canada Dry is easy to recognize but there is also Japanese Suntory that may be more common, the label is blue. Also check any neighborhood liquor shop.

There is a shop on Rakuten that sells both club soda and tonic water.

They have Schweppes tonic water for 2,589 yen (250ml × 24 bottles) and Canada Dry club soda for 2,579 yen (500ml x 24 bottles).

Thank you all for the information. We will be in Tokyo in several days again and the last time there, I just could not locate the stuff. Yes, both Rakuten and Amazon sell them but since I am only visiting for about a month that would be a problem.
Will check all the places you all mentioned. Much appreciated!

I know it's super late, but Yamaya is a great choice as well. They stock tons of foreign mixers, beers and sodas. I had some yummy Inka(sp) Cola the other day.
I was tempted to pick up some Anchor Steam or Sam Adams beer, and then I noticed the Cannabia brew. Last time I saw that it was at the Jamaican Festival in Yoyogi for 5-600yen a cup.
