A limited-time pop-up store, the Online Sake Shop "KURAND" POP UP STORE, is coming to ecute Omiya (Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture) from Monday, April 20 to Thursday, May 7, 2026.
Experience the "Sake Gacha" in Real Life
The pop-up store brings the viral "Sake Gacha" service to life as a hands-on, real-world experience. Normally available only online, the concept is now recreated using actual capsule toy machines. Visitors can enjoy different themed Sake Gacha machines with varying sake categories, a mini bottle charm gacha, and limited-time gacha options.
The sake lineup includes rare bottles such as "Shinkyo 50-year" (a 50-year-aged shochu priced at ¥110,000 per bottle, tax included) and "Rei 17-year" (a 17-year-aged brown sugar plum wine priced at ¥19,800 per bottle, tax included) — products not available through general retail channels. There are no losing draws; every spin is guaranteed to yield a product with a retail value higher than the gacha price, so anyone can participate with confidence. This is a great opportunity to discover new sake you might never have chosen on your own.
What Is "Sake Gacha"?
"Sake Gacha" is one of KURAND's most popular services, built around the concept of "not knowing what you'll get — and that's what makes it fun, a new encounter with sake." It randomly delivers one bottle from a selection of over 500 types of sake, including nihonshu (Japanese sake), plum wine, fruit wine, liqueur, shochu, wine, and premium sour bases. Launched in 2019, the service gained widespread popularity through social media, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when home drinking surged.
