Kaldi Fukubukuro 2027: Which Lucky Bags Need a Lottery?

Kaldi Coffee Farm (カルディコーヒーファーム) hasn't announced its 2027 lucky bags (fukubukuro, 福袋) yet, as of November 4, 2026. Last year's press release came out on November 19, 2025, and the advance lottery opened that same day.

Of last year's five bags, only two needed a lottery. The other three went on sale at the New Year's first sale, known as hatsuuri (初売り), with no entry required.

For the bigger picture, including which other chains run lotteries, see our guide to Japan's 2027 lucky bags. This article sticks to Kaldi: what each bag cost last year, how the lottery worked, and when buyers got their bags.

If you'll be in Japan over New Year, you don't need to win anything. Three of Kaldi's five bags were sold without a lottery from the first sale of the year.

Kaldi's Usual Announcement Window

Kaldi has published its lucky bag press release between November 19 and 22 for four years running.

We'll update this page once the 2027 details are out. Until then, treat the figures below as last year's (2026) reference, not this year's.

The Five Bags: Lottery or Walk-In

All prices include tax.

The Food Lucky Bag held around 21 items, including bag-exclusive products and zodiac-themed goods from Moheji (もへじ), Kaldi's Japanese-food brand, plus a bag.

Both coffee sets came with three kinds of coffee beans (200 g each) and a bag. The drip bag had five kinds of drip coffee, 28 cups in total, plus a bag.

Every bag cost exactly ¥500 more than the year before. Kaldi also notes that the bags may go by different names at some stores, so ask staff if you can't spot them.

How the Food Lucky Bag Lottery Worked

The Food Lucky Bag ran two separate lotteries: one for bags picked up in a store, and one for bags shipped from the online store. Kaldi's official details page is no longer online, so the dates below come from last year's reporting by Impress Watch and All About.

The online lottery closed three days earlier and announced winners sooner. In-store winners had to collect their bag between hatsuuri and January 6, so pick a store you can actually reach during that window.

We couldn't find any official word on payment deadlines or what happens if a winner misses one. Read the notice you get if you win.

The Online-Only Premium Coffee Bag

The ¥8,000 Premium Coffee Lucky Bag was raffled only through Kaldi's online store. You couldn't enter in a shop.

It held three kinds of coffee beans (200 g each), nine drip coffee packs, and a bag. According to the same reports, entries closed November 30, 2025, winners were announced December 1 (first round) and December 11 (second round), and bags shipped from January 1, 2026.

The Three Bags You Can Buy Without a Lottery

The two coffee sets and the drip coffee bag needed no entry. Last year they went on sale in stores from hatsuuri. Those reports also say the online store started selling them at 10:00 a.m. on January 1.

Stock is limited and they can sell out. Still, for a visitor in Japan over New Year, they're the easiest bags to get: walk into a Kaldi during the New Year sales and look for them.

What Visitors Should Know

• The 2027 bags haven't been announced yet. Watch Kaldi's official site in the second half of November.
• You don't need a lottery for the three coffee bags. Just look for them at hatsuuri, while stock lasts.
• Lottery winners either picked up in their chosen store by January 6 or had the bag delivered. Kaldi says nothing official about shipping overseas, so if you won't be in Japan in early January, the lottery bags are hard to plan around.

Starbucks Japan also runs its lucky bag by lottery, with entries closing November 15. See Starbucks Japan Lucky Bag 2027: Can Visitors Enter the Lottery?
