How to play Ichiban Kuji
So, what is Ichiban Kuji? So in the simplest of terms, it’s an anime lottery. Generally sold in shops, arcades and almost any convenience store in japan.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s discuss how you play the game:
- Identify the Kuji you want to play
- Look at the prizes that could potentially be yours (and prepare your wallets)
- Approach the counter, tell the shopkeeper what Kuji wish to play
- Pay (x) number of tickets you want to purchase
- Draw out (x) number of tickets from the box, without leaving the counter
- Open the lottery ticket, and check the alphabet corresponding to the board
- Claim your winnings
- Repeat steps 4-6, until satisfied
What we can guarantee you is, everyone will walk away a winner, there are no blank tickets, or cheating involved. Also, rest assured, every Kuji set that the Hobility crew stocks in are 100% imported from Japan (not the overseas version).
To those who it may concern, why our prices are somewhat higher compared to most retail outlets that sell Ichiban Kuji, we can ensure that the Kuji we import are based on the availability and production value.
Lastly, the biggest attraction of playing Kuji is the grand prize or often referred to as “S” prize. How one obtain the last prize is by either waiting until there’s only one slot remaining on the board and pays for that ticket. On the other hand, if you’re feeling bold, you may purchase all the remaining slots in one lump sum. No matter how you wish to play, you will walk away a winner
