Series Sequel: 19th Sumikko Gurashi Kuji. Third in 2022!
Sumikko Gang are back and this theme features bathing so I expect items to be related to some toiletries. Let’s see what they have for us!
For Past Kuji prizes, do visit Sumikko Gurashi Ichiban Kuji Full Prize List
Prize A (2 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 14th
Prize Rating:
We kick things off with Shirokuma and he looks great here. He is wearing a towel and a shower hat so very fitting to the theme, very simple design so nothing bad! As usual we have a 25cm tall plush! What is nice about the design this time round is that each of them holds a plush charm! Altough it’s not removable, would be awesome if they did, but a nice touch and something different!
Prize B (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 11th
Prize Rating:
Next we have Penguin and he is a unique piece, which is fair since his popularity is arguably the least, but he is cute too with the bath towel and shower hat and he also hold a plush charm! 25cm tall as well!
Prize C (1 piece)
Top Prize Appearance: 15th
Prize Rating:
Neko is next and she looks cute as well, the outfit is similar to the other 2 and she holds a plush charm as well. Also 25cm tall but sad that being one of the more popular character there is only 1 plush in the set!
Prize D (2 pieces) / Double Chance
Top Prize Appearance: 17th
Prize Rating:
The most popular Sumikko and also the one that appears the most, here is Tokage! I like that all of them have the same outfit and he also holds a plush charm. 25cm tall as well and he is also the double chance prize so more of you can have a chance to get him!
Prize E (2 pieces)
Top Prize Appearance: 2nd
Prize Rating:
Ebi is back! Wow she doesn’t appear very often and even when she does, it’s always with Tonkatsu, glad that she is a top prize on her own! She is slightly smaller at 13cm tall and she doesn’t have the same outfit as the rest nor does she holds a plush charm, but that doesn’t stop her from being one of the piece to get! If you haven’t gotten any Ebi Plush, which you probably won’t, now is a good time to get her! 2 pieces to go around too!
Prize F (1 piece)
Prize Rating:
In each Sumikko set there is usually a top prize that is a usable item! This time round we have a bucket! The bucket is 25cm in diameter and a design that features all the main Sumikko characters, it fits the theme since this is definitely usable in the washroom! What is cool is that it also comes with a Tokage Sponge! 2 prize for 1 ticket and it’s a unique piece, so nothing bad at all!
Prize G (16 pieces)
Design: 2 Glass. 2 Bottle. 2 Stand.
Distribution: 2 Bottle x 2 pieces each. The other 4 x 3 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Wow we have a few goodies to choose from if you pull this prize!
- You can pick one of 2 small glass which has amazing design featuring the main character, glass can be used for many things in the washroom!
- Or pick one of 2 glass bottle which can be used for almost the same thing as a glass but if you fancy a slimmer but taller shape, do choose this!
- Or you can pick a Neko or Tokage Stand which is for your razor or toothbrush! Definitely a unique prize and grab them early if you fancy this!
Prize H (20 pieces)
Design: 2 Coaster. 2 Bands. 2 Charms
Distribution: 2 charms x 4 pieces each. The other 4 x 3 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
The different variety of prizes just kept coming and this time round we have a choice of
- One of 2 Coasters featuring Tokage and Real Tokage or Ebi and Tonkatus! The designs are both bathing and washing up which fits the theme well! Usable as well!
- One of 2 Bands featuring the main characters and their buddies! Bands are common nowadays because it’s so useful and they will always come in handy! Why not get a design you like for something handy!
- One of 2 charms featuring Shirokuma and Neko, Nice design but I think the other 2 will be preferred by buyers, so do play early to choose if you don’t fancy this!
Prize I (21 pieces)
Design: 4 Small. 1 Long
Distribution: 1 x 5 pieces. 4 x 4 pieces each.
Prize Rating:
Lastly we have towels, and you also get to choose between the different types of towel!
- You can pick design towels which are meant for display, they both look great!
- You can also pick usable towels which as it’s name says, it’s usable! If you are the practical type of buyer, this is for you then!
- You can pick the long towel as well, because it’s long! Many will pick this first!
Last Prize / Double Chance
Top Prize Rating: 12th
Prize Rating:
Tonkatsu is back to his original state where he is the last prize, but that’s not a bad thing because fans of him can just wait for a buyout then trying your luck to get him! He is 25cm tall, same as other plush and he holds an Ebi plush charm, no towels or shower hat but still looks good! You can look for a 7- buyout or 12- with at least one other Plush inside!

Conclusion
A good Solid Kuji for Sumikko and despite the series not being collectibles, it is very appealing, from the top prizes to the small ones, it fits the theme and just look nice overall. Very standard Sumikko set, although no figure prize this time round but at least you can get some goodies from this set!
Odds
Let’s calculate your odds to get the following with one ticket from a fresh board!
Chance to get a top prize (A to F ): 9 / 66= 13.64%, slightly higher than average
Recommendation
3 tickets for something nice to place in your washroom! Maybe don’t put the plush in your washroom if you pull it haha.
Collectibles?
The Real Deal: Sumikko generally don’t have any collectibles item, so need to worry about not getting a certain must have prizes!
Nice to have: Well, if you fancy, you can just collect the glasses, bottles and stand as well as the coaster, charm and bands because of their design, but no obligation, these are usable items not really for collection!
Collect only if you don’t already have: Ebi is a good plush to get if you want to grow your main character collection! The other members you either get your favorite or get all 5 if you like this theme, they will always be featured so no need to get all designs from every set!
Skippable: Towels, they are almost featured in every set so I think no need to collect them if you don’t want to. The container is a nice item but again, not a collectible one, so if you can’t pull it, just skip it!
