## A Pop-up Store Where You Can Experience "Sake Gacha"
We are hosting a pop-up store where you can experience the viral "Sake Gacha" in person. This is an experiential pop-up store where you can enjoy our normally online-only service with a real capsule toy machine. Various types of Sake Gacha will be available, including ones with different categories of alcoholic beverages, a gacha for miniature bottle charms, and other limited-time Sake Gachas.
The lineup of possible prizes includes rare and not-for-general-sale liquors, such as the "Shinkyo 50-nen," a 50-year-aged shochu worth ¥110,000 (tax incl.), and "Rei 17-nen," a 17-year-aged black sugar umeshu worth ¥19,800 (tax incl.). There are absolutely no "losing" capsules; you are guaranteed to win a product with a retail price higher than the gacha fee, so anyone can enjoy it with peace of mind. We invite you to experience a new encounter with an alcoholic beverage you might not have chosen for yourself.
### What is "Sake Gacha"?
"Sake Gacha" is a popular service from KURAND based on the concept, "You don't know what you'll get. That's what makes it fun—an encounter with a new sake." It randomly delivers alcoholic beverages from a selection of over 500 types, including sake, umeshu, fruit liquor, liqueurs, shochu, wine, and premium sour bases.
