Whisky Lottery "Golden Mikuji" Opens Pre-Orders with Hakushu 25 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky as Top Prize

Tachibana E-Sake Shop (operated by Uprising Co., Ltd.) has launched pre-orders for its latest whisky lottery campaign, "Golden Mikuji," starting May 1, 2026. The campaign is limited to 377 entries.

The top prize features the legendary Hakushu 25 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky — a bottle that commands premium prices on the market due to its extreme scarcity — alongside hard-to-obtain aged expressions such as Yamazaki 12 Year Old and Hakushu 12 Year Old.

The full lineup also includes well-known favorites like Hibiki JAPANESE HARMONY, Hibiki Blender's Choice, Single Malt Tsunuki, Ichiro's Malt Wine Wood Reserve Pure Malt, Ichiro's Malt & Grain Limited Edition, and Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Old, among others. More distinctive selections, such as "Yabe" and "√ (Root)," round out the range with diverse flavor profiles.

Each entry is priced at ¥7,980 (tax included), with free shipping. Shipment is scheduled between May 25 and May 27.

Customer reviews for the whisky lottery

The whisky lottery is available across multiple online platforms, including Amazon, Rakuten, and Yahoo! Shopping. Customers have shared feedback including "the excitement of opening it is irresistible" and "the selection feels carefully curated." Inventory is managed in-house rather than through external warehouses, with strict temperature and humidity controls maintained until the bottles reach customers.

What Is a Whisky Lottery?

A whisky lottery is a lottery-style sales service where, for each entry purchased, one bottle is delivered at random from a pre-announced lineup.

Not knowing which bottle will arrive — that "surprise you can't choose" — adds a small thrill to everyday life.

All entries in the Tachibana E-Sake Shop lottery are guaranteed to receive a bottle; there are no losing draws. There is also a chance to receive a coveted premium bottle. From the moment you open the box, your whisky experience becomes richer and more exciting, with the possibility of discovering a new label you have never tried before.
