The 2027 Starbucks Japan Lucky Bag (福袋, fukubukuro) is sold by online lottery only. There's no in-store sale, so you can't just walk into a store and grab one. Entry runs from November 4 to November 15, 2026.
To enter, you need a full "My Starbucks" membership and a Japanese delivery address, and the account and payment setup assume a domestic account. That makes it mostly something for people who live in Japan.
If you're here on a short trip, entering isn't realistic, and the last section explains why.
For how Japan's lucky bags work in general, see our guide to fukubukuro in 2027. This article covers only the Starbucks lottery, step by step, from entry to delivery.
Three things trip people up with the Starbucks Lucky Bag: the full My Starbucks membership, the November 15 entry deadline, and the December 2 payment deadline after you win. Put those dates in your calendar now.
Key dates
The whole process takes about two months, from entry in late 2026 to delivery in early January. Here are the dates that matter.
Step | Date |
|---|---|
Entry opens | November 4, 2026, 10:00 (JST) |
Entry closes | November 15, 2026, 23:59 (JST) |
Results announced | November 25, 2026, around 11:00–17:00 |
Payment deadline | December 2, 2026, 23:59 (JST) |
Delivery | A day you choose between January 1 and 7, 2027 |
How to enter
Entry is online only, through the Starbucks Online Store. Set up your membership before entry opens on November 4 so you're not scrambling on the day.
- Register as a full "My Starbucks" member with your email. A provisional app account isn't enough to enter.
- Enter through the Starbucks Online Store during the window (November 4–15). You get one entry per person.
- If you're a Gold member (the higher My Starbucks tier) when entry closes, your single entry counts as two chances in the draw. You can still win only one bag.
After you win: the payment deadline
Only winners get an email titled "当選のご案内" (your winning notice), sent to the email address on your account. From there, follow the steps to pay.
The bag costs 9,500 yen, due by 23:59 on December 2, 2026.
Miss that deadline and your win is canceled. The bag then goes to a backup draw and won't be sold again, so pay as soon as your winning notice arrives.
You can pay by credit card, carrier billing (on smartphone purchases only), or a web-registered Starbucks Card. A Birthday Reward eTicket can't be used for payment.
What's inside, and the price
The 2027 bag costs 9,500 yen (tax included, free shipping), up from 8,800 yen the year before. Contents vary from bag to bag, but here's the usual lineup.
- A lucky-bag-only tote bag ×1
- A lucky-bag-only stainless steel bottle ×1
- Assorted items ×3 (limited goods or past products, packed at random)
- Two kinds of coffee beans, "Pike Place® Roast" and "Lightnote Blend®," 100g each, medium grind
- A coffee bean ticket ×1 (for one bean product up to 2,000 yen; valid January 4 to July 2, 2027)
- Drink tickets ×7 (each good for one drink, up to 700 yen in store / 687 yen to go; valid January 1 to June 27, 2027)
- Food trial tickets ×6 (each takes 100 yen off one food item in store, 98 yen off to go; valid January 1 to June 27, 2027)
A separate drawing randomly adds a gold special-edition mug and a Bearista (Starbucks' bear character) to 1,000 bags. Not every bag has one, so if yours does, treat it as a bonus.
The honest answer for visitors
The short answer is no, not really. Entering, paying, and receiving the bag all assume a Japanese setup: a My Starbucks account, payment options geared to domestic accounts (carrier billing or a Japanese Starbucks Card), and a Japanese delivery address.
There's no overseas shipping, so you need an address in Japan to receive the bag.
If you live in Japan with a local address and card, you can enter like anyone else. If you're visiting on a short trip, then even setting the account and address aside, the timing works against you: the draw and delivery run from November to early January.
Instead, grab the regular seasonal cups, tumblers, and drinks at any store while you're here.
