Quick Answer

A Kuji Instant Menu lets you buy digital tickets (cards) for an Ichiban Kuji draw online, with a live-streamed drawing determining which prize you win. It's the same prize system as in-store Kuji but accessible from home.

How Is Instant Menu Different from a Regular Ichiban Kuji?

In a traditional Ichiban Kuji, you buy a physical ticket at a store or event, tear it open on the spot, and immediately see which prize tier you've won. An Instant Menu draw works the same way—each card corresponds to a prize tier—but the entire process happens online. You purchase cards through the store's menu, and the drawing is conducted via a live video stream so you can watch the results in real time.

The main trade-off is that you don't get the instant physical ticket-opening experience. However, you gain the convenience of entering draws for exclusive or pre-order Kuji that may not be available in your local area.

What Prizes Can You Win in an Instant Menu Kuji?

Instant Menu Kuji prizes are identical to those in a physical draw. For example, the Ichiban Kuji - Demon Slayer - Upper Two includes an A Prize Kocho Shinobu MASTERLISE Figure, B Prize Tsuyuri Kanao MASTERLISE Figure, and more. The Ichiban Kuji - Goddess Of Victory: Nikke Chapter 8 offers an A Prize Dorothy: Serendipity Figure and B Prize Rapi: Red Hood - Red Flavor Figure. Each draw lists every prize tier and the number of winning cards available, so you know exactly what's up for grabs before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Instant Kuji

How do I buy tickets for an Instant Menu Kuji?

Browse the store's Instant Menu section, select the Kuji you want, and choose how many cards to purchase (each card is one entry). Add them to your cart and check out like a normal order. After purchase, you'll receive instructions on when the live drawing will take place.

When and how is the drawing held?

The store streams a live drawing on a scheduled date (check the product page for the estimated arrival or show schedule). During the stream, the host randomly draws cards and reveals which prize tier each one wins. You can watch live or catch the replay. Make a note of the live show date so you don't miss the results.

What happens after I win a prize?

Once the drawing is complete, the store ships your prize to you. Shipping times depend on the product's estimated arrival date (e.g., August 2026 for Demon Slayer Upper Two). You'll receive tracking information when it ships. Pre-order Kuji may have longer wait times, but the prize is reserved for you as soon as the draw ends.

Can I buy a full set of cards to guarantee all prizes?

No, Instant Menu draws are random—each card gives you a chance at any prize tier. Buying more cards increases your odds but does not guarantee a specific prize. Check the product page for the total number of items available to understand the odds. If you want a specific figure, consider buying multiple cards, but be aware that duplicates are possible.

Is the Instant Menu available for all Ichiban Kuji releases?

No, only select Kuji titles are offered as Instant Menu draws. The store lists which ones are available, and they often include exclusive or pre-order sets like the Evangelion Angel Collection or Goddess of Victory: Nikke Chapter 8. Check the Instant Menu category regularly for new additions. Bookmark the Instant Menu page to catch limited releases before they sell out.
