Morinaga Sweets Ichiban Kuji: All 8 Prizes, Chocoball & Hi-Chew

The Morinaga Sweets Ichiban Kuji turns Japan's most familiar convenience-store snacks into things you can actually keep. Instead of anime characters, this BANDAI SPIRITS lottery is built entirely around Morinaga & Co. brands — Chocoball, Hi-Chew, DARS and Ramune — rendered as cushions, towels, glassware and pouches.

This guide lays out all eight prize tiers, the oversized Last One Hi-Chew cushion, the Double Chance campaign, the release date and price, and how collectors outside Japan can draw it. Every prize name, size and date below is taken from the official lineup, not a rumor.

If you already collect snack-brand goods or lifestyle Ichiban Kuji, this is one of the rare draws where the “prize” is something you use every day rather than shelf it.

Morinaga Sweets Ichiban Kuji: Release Date, Price and Where to Buy

The Morinaga Sweets Ichiban Kuji went on sale in Japan on July 11, 2026, with an online start following on July 13. It is a standard convenience-store draw at a low per-ticket price, which is part of why it moves so quickly.

Because it is stocked through convenience stores rather than a single hobby chain, physical tickets sell out at popular locations first. Akibato ships the Morinaga Sweets draw from Japan through its Ichiban Kuji collection if you would rather draw it than hunt a counter in Tokyo.

All 8 Prizes in the Morinaga Sweets Ichiban Kuji

There are seven lettered tiers (A–G) plus the Last One Prize. Notice the pattern down the ladder: the higher tiers are single, large statement items, while the lower tiers give you more design variations to collect.

A and B Prizes: The Chocoball Cushion and Ramune Fan

The A Prize is the headline: a Chocoball-shaped cushion, roughly 50 cm across, that stores a full ~100 cm blanket inside it. It is the “two items in one” prize collectors chase, doubling as decor and bedding.

The B Prize, the Morinaga Ramune Handy Fan, is a ~21 cm rechargeable-style handheld fan with a handle modeled on the classic Ramune bottle — a genuinely seasonal, usable win rather than a display piece.

C Through E: DARS Pouch, Glassware and Candy Straps

The C Prize DARS Flat Pouch (~30 cm) mimics the chocolate's boxy silhouette. The D Prize Glass Collection offers three ~7 cm glasses printed in MOONLIGHT, MARIE and CHOICE biscuit designs. The E Prize adds four ~12 cm Candy Straps shaped after Morinaga snacks, so this is where the “collect the set” appeal starts.

F and G: Fabric Collection and Zipper Bags

The F Prize Fabric Collection spans microfiber towels, jacquard towels and towel pouches across five ~15–25 cm designs. The G Prize is a Zipper Bag & Sticker Set in six ~15 cm variations — the most numerous tier, and the easiest to complete if you are drawing in volume.

Last One Prize: The Oversized Hi-Chew Cushion

The Last One Prize — handed to whoever draws the final ticket in a box — is a Hi-Chew Cushion roughly 70 cm long, built to look like an outsized real Hi-Chew pack, complete with a gimmick. At around 70 cm it is the largest single item in the set, which is exactly why it commands a premium on the secondary market.

If you are new to how that final-ticket reward works, our explainer on the Ichiban Kuji Last One Prize covers how it is awarded and why it usually costs more than the A Prize once boxes sell through.

Double Chance Campaign: A Second Hi-Chew Cushion

Morinaga's draw also runs a Double Chance campaign. By registering the serial code from your ticket, you enter a separate lottery for an additional Hi-Chew Cushion, with 30 units available. The campaign runs from release through October 31, 2026.

The Double Chance prize is not part of the in-box lineup, so it is the only way to win a second Hi-Chew cushion without buying one resold. For a full walkthrough of how these serial-code entries work, see our guide to the Ichiban Kuji Double Chance campaign.

Which Prizes Are Worth Chasing?

Unlike figure-based draws, value here is about daily use and scarcity rather than sculpt quality. A quick read:

• Best keep: A Prize (Chocoball blanket-in cushion) — the most useful and the most photographed.
• Best resale: Last One Hi-Chew cushion and the Double Chance cushion — the two hardest to obtain.
• Best for completists: D, E, F and G, where multiple designs reward drawing several tickets.
• Most seasonal: B Prize Ramune fan — a summer-friendly, genuinely functional win.

How to Buy the Morinaga Ichiban Kuji From Outside Japan

You have three realistic routes from overseas:

• Draw it through a Japan-based store that ships internationally, so you get a random sealed prize.
• Buy a specific prize (for example the Last One Hi-Chew cushion) already drawn, on a resale marketplace.
• Use a proxy service to enter at a Japanese retailer, which adds fees and shipping.
