Every New Year, department stores and shops across Japan sell sealed bags at a fixed price, and the contents are worth more than the price on the tag. Nobody knows exactly what is inside until it is opened, and that is the point. Fuku (福) means good fortune and fukuro (袋) means bag. Our mystery box follows the same rule: a fixed price, a guaranteed value above it, and a surprise when the lid comes off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eWhat sort of things turn up?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003eExpect a mix across the Japanese cupboard: the sharp, clean end (rice and sushi vinegars, ponzu), the deep savoury end (miso, koji seasonings, soy-based sauces) and the finishing touches (furikake, sesame, seasoned salts). Most boxes lean towards whatever we hold most of, so two boxes bought the same week can look quite different. Some items may be short-dated, meaning they are close to or just past their best-before date. Best-before is a date for quality, not safety. Every short-dated item is valued at its already reduced website price, so the value promise holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); padding-bottom: 6px; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 10px 0 20px 0;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem; opacity: 0.75; width: 35%;\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eMystery box of Japanese pantry staples\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem; opacity: 0.75; width: 35%;\"\u003ePrice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003e£100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem; opacity: 0.75; width: 35%;\"\u003eMinimum Value\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003e£150 at our website prices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem; opacity: 0.75; width: 35%;\"\u003ePack Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eHome-kitchen retail sizes only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem; opacity: 0.75; width: 35%;\"\u003eShort-dated Items\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eMay be included, valued at their reduced website price\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem; opacity: 0.75; width: 35%;\"\u003eDrinks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eNone.
