Nissin’s New Year lucky box is packed with instant noodle surprises

Kicking the year off right with a Cup Noodle extravaganza!

As Christmas gathers up its sack of presents and disappears over the horizon, it’s time to look forward to another set of presents in Japan, in the form of fukubukuro “lucky bags“, which are sold during New Year.

These fukubukuro contain a wide variety of popular goods, all packaged up in a bag and with a price tag that’s less than the value of the items inside. People usually line up outside stores to get their hands on these bags, but in light of the continuing pandemic, some retailers have opted to make their fukubukuro available online, packing them up in boxes and giving rise to the new trend of “fukubako” or “lucky box“.

Cup Noodle creator Nissin is one such company sending out fukubako to customers this year, and we were lucky enough to purchase one of the sought-after boxes, which are dubbed “Tenkomori Sets“, with “tenkomori” translating to a “heap” or bowlful”.

▼ The Tenkomori Set cost us 5,012 yen (US$43.80) plus shipping.

▼ Look at what’s inside!

You get a lot of noodles for your yen here, so let’s take a closer look at all the products we received.

▼ A Hiyoko-chan-themed Sugoroku (a traditional Japanese board game) is also included on the back of the calendar.

While we were blown away by all the noodles we received in our set, there was something about this gorgeous calendar that stole our hearts with its sweetness.

▼ It’s made even more special by the fact that you can’t buy this calendar in stores.

And as if all these exciting goods weren’t enough, we also received a 1,000-yen discount coupon to use on future purchases.

That means our instant meal haul came to a total of 4,012 yen plus shipping, making it an incredible deal. Unfortunately, though, the deal is so good that all these fukubako are now sold out, so if you’d like to snare one for yourself next year, be sure to check the Nissin site from mid-December for announcements.
